'Authority' in the Bible

He will be the builder of a house for my name, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.

And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.

And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.

Men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority: from the time when my name comes to their ears, they will be ruled by me.
