Kingship, royal authority, sovereignty -- the office and dignity of reigning as king
Denotes the abstract concept of kingship -- the office, authority, and dignity of reigning as king. In the Samuel narratives it tracks the transfer of royal power: Samuel tells Saul about the kingship (1 Sam 10:16), writes its regulations (10:25), and the people renew it at Gilgal (11:14). Later David's rivals acknowledge that kingship belongs to his line (1 Kgs 2:15, 22), and God tears it from Solomon's son (1 Kgs 11:35). Psalm 22:28 and Obadiah 21 elevate it to cosmic scale: ultimate sovereignty belongs to Yahweh. Construct phrases like 'royal city,' 'royal throne,' and 'royal seed' extend the term into related domains.
