SUMMARY
A king should be marked by justice, loyalty, faithfulness, and righteousness.
ANALYSIS
Proverbs 20:28, like so many passages found in the prophets, the psalms, and elsewhere, notes that a king and his throne is preserved, not by might, but rather by faithfulness, and righteousness. We know this by God’s throne being marked by justice.
