'King' in the Bible

The proverbs (truths obscurely expressed, maxims) of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

A divine decision [given by God] is on the lips of the king [as His representative];His mouth should not be unfaithful or unjust in judgment.

Righteous lips are the delight of kings,And he who speaks right is loved.

The wrath of a king is like a messenger of death,But a wise man will appease it.

The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion;Whoever provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.

A wise king sifts out the wicked [from among the good]And drives the [threshing] wheel over them [to separate the chaff from the grain].

Loyalty and mercy, truth and faithfulness, protect the king,And he upholds his throne by lovingkindness.

He who loves purity of heartAnd whose speech is gracious will have the king as his friend.

My son, fear the Lord and the king;And do not associate with those who are given to change [of allegiance, and are revolutionary],

For their tragedy will rise suddenly,And who knows the punishment that both [the Lord and the king] will bring on the rebellious?

These are also the proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied:

Take away the wicked from before the king,And his throne will be established in righteousness.

Do not be boastfully ambitious and claim honor in the presence of the king,And do not stand in the place of great men;

The king establishes (stabilizes) the land by justice,But a man who takes bribes overthrows it.

If a king faithfully and truthfully judges the poor,His throne shall be established forever.

The locusts have no king,Yet all of them go out in groups;

The strutting rooster, the male goat also,And the king when his army is with him.

The words of King Lemuel, the oracle, which his mother taught him:
