'Presence' in the Bible

He stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands

All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

It happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon), that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.

They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and the incense altars that were on high above them he cut down; and the Asherim, and the engraved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it on the graves [of those] who had sacrificed to them.
