'King' in the Bible

The wise sayings of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.

The king has pleasure in a servant who does wisely, but his wrath is against him who is a cause of shame.

Decision is in the lips of the king: his mouth will not go wrong in judging.

The wrath of the king is like those who give news of death, but a wise man will put peace in place of it.

The wrath of a king is like the loud cry of a lion: he who makes him angry does wrong against himself.

A king on the seat of judging puts to flight all evil with his eyes.

A wise king puts evil-doers to flight, and makes their evil-doing come back on them.

Mercy and good faith keep the king safe, and the seat of his power is based on upright acts.

He whose heart is clean is dear to the Lord; for the grace of his lips the king will be his friend.

My son, go in fear of the Lord and the king: have nothing to do with those who are in high positions:

These are more wise sayings of Solomon, copied out by the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah.

Take away evil-doers from before the king, and the seat of his power will be made strong in righteousness.

Do not take glory for yourself before the king, and do not put yourself in the place of the great:

A king, by right rule, makes the land safe; but one full of desires makes it a waste.

The king who is a true judge in the cause of the poor, will be safe for ever on the seat of his power.

A servant when he becomes a king; a man without sense when his wealth is increased;

The locusts have no king, but they all go out in bands;

The war-horse, and the he-goat, and the king when his army is with him.

The words of Lemuel, king of Massa: the teaching which he had from his mother.
