—(See on II Chronicles 1:14 [and II Chronicles 9:25].)
a great throne of ivory—It seems to have been made not of solid ivory, but veneered. It was in the form of an armchair, with a carved back. The ascent to it was by six steps, on each of which stood lions, in place of a railing—while a lion, probably of gilt metal, stood at each side, which, we may suppose from the analogy of other Oriental thrones, supported a canopy. A golden footstool is mentioned (II Chronicles 9:18) as attached to this throne, whose magnificence is described as unrivalled.
