1 Chronicles 29:11: "Your, Lord, are greatness, power, glory, majesty, and splendor, for all that is in heaven and on earth is thy. Your, Lord, is the kingdom; Above all." This verse emphasizes that God is the supreme king and that all power and authority comes from him.
Matthew 2:2: "And they asked, 'Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star in the East and we came to worship him.' This verse refers to the visit of the wizards to Jesus, who went to him to worship him as a king.
