Intertextuality Pair

Psalms 110:1 → 1 Kings 5:3

Allusion

Later text

Psalms 110:1BSB

A Psalm of David. The LORD said to my Lord: "Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet."

Earlier text

1 Kings 5:3BSB

"As you are well aware, due to the wars waged on all sides against my father David, he could not build a house for the Name of the LORD his God until the LORD had put his enemies under his feet.

Significance

Psalm 110:1 declares "The LORD said to my Lord: 'Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet'" — a royal enthronement oracle promising the subjugation of enemies. In 1 Kings 5:3, Solomon explains to Hiram that David "could not build a house for the Name of the LORD his God because of the wars waged against him on every side, until the LORD put his enemies under his feet" (תַּחַת כַּפּוֹת רַגְלָיו, tachat kappot raglav). The shared "enemies under feet" motif connects Psalm 110's messianic enthronement with Solomon's historical claim that David's wars fulfilled a preliminary stage of this promise. Solomon's temple-building presupposes the rest that comes from subdued enemies — the very rest Psalm 110:1 envisions for the enthroned king.
