1 Kings 10:19
The throne was round behind : and there were stays on either side - This description seems to indicate that the throne was in the form of one of our ancient round-topped, two-armed chairs. This throne or chair of state was raised on a platform, the ascent to which consisted of six steps. What we call stays is in the Hebrew yadoth , hands, which serves to confirm the conjecture above.
