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.

Anchor Text: Psalm 110 — The Right-Hand Session and the Melchizedekian Priest
Significance: In 1 Kings 5:3 (Heb. 5:17), Solomon explains to Hiram that David could not build the temple "because of the wars which surrounded him, until the LORD put his enemies under the soles of his feet" (תַּחַת כַּפּוֹת רַגְלָיו, tachat kappot raglav). This language directly echoes Psalm 110:1, where enemies become a "footstool for your feet." Solomon frames David's inability to build the temple as a matter of timing within God's plan — the enemies had to be subdued first. The implication is that temple-building requires completed conquest, and Solomon's era of peace fulfills the precondition that Psalm 110's royal dominion envisions.
