Proverbs20:8
8 A king that [illegible: 1+ letters]itteth in the throne of judgment , scattereth away all evil with his eyes .
That makes it his great care and business to execute Judgment and Justice among his People, especially if he do this in his own Person, as was usual in ancient Times, and sees things with his own Eyes. As for the Phrase, the sign or gesture is here put for the thing signified by it.
Effectually punisheth and suppresseth all wickedness.
With his very looks, or by his diligent inspection into affairs.
