Kings

Famous quotes containing the word kings:

“High on a throne of royal state, which far
Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind,
Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand
Show’rs on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
Satan exalted sat, by merit raised
To that bad eminence; and, from despair
Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires
Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue
Vain war with Heav’n, and by success untaught,
His proud imaginations”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“God gave Solomon very great wisdom, discernment, and breadth of understanding as vast as the sand on the seashore...”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings 4:29.

“Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war?”
—Bible: Hebrew, 2 Kings 18:20.
