Significance: Psalm 110:1 envisions the LORD's anointed sitting at God's right hand while enemies are subdued. In 1 Kings 5:5 (MT 5:19), Solomon declares his intention to build the temple now that "the LORD my God has given me rest (מְנוּחָה, menuchah) on every side; there is neither adversary nor misfortune." The connection between the two passages is the enthroned king's rest from enemies: Psalm 110 promises divine victory over all enemies, and 1 Kings 5:5 records Solomon experiencing that rest as the precondition for temple construction. Solomon's reign partially fulfills the Psalm 110 promise of a king enthroned in peace, though the psalm's scope ultimately exceeds what Solomon achieved.

Anchor Text: Psalm 110 — The Right-Hand Session and the Melchizedekian Priest
Significance: In 1 Kings 5:5 (Heb. 5:19), Solomon announces his intention to build the temple, stating that "the LORD has given me rest (מְנוּחָה, menuchah) on every side; there is no adversary (שָׂטָן, satan) or misfortune." The achieved rest — no adversary remaining — fulfills the precondition described in Psalm 110:1 where enemies are placed under the king's feet. Solomon's declaration that he has no שָׂטָן (adversary) ironically foreshadows the narrative reversal of 1 Kings 11:14, where "the LORD raised up an adversary (שָׂטָן) against Solomon." The era of rest that enabled temple construction proves temporary, contrasting with the permanent dominion Psalm 110 envisions.
