connected with a throne (
2 Chronicles 9:18 ). Jehovah symbolically dwelt in the holy place between the cherubim above the ark of the covenant. The ark was his footstool (
1 Chronicles 28:2 ;
Psalms 99:5 ;
132:7 ). And as heaven is God's throne, so the earth is his footstool (
Psalms 110:1 ;
Isaiah 66:1 ;
Matthew 5:35 ).
