Proverbs 25:5

¹²It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.

⁸A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes.

⁷He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes. ⁸Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.

⁵A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.

²⁸Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love.

¹⁰So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath was pacified.

⁴⁶So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell on him, so that he died. The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

³³So their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his offspring^[+] forever. But for David, for his offspring, for his house, and for his throne, there will be peace forever from the LORD.”

⁷Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.

¹⁴The king who fairly judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.
