Sovereignty

After Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he and all Israel with him forsook the Law of the LORD.

The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the sovereignty from Damascus. The remnant of Aram will be like the splendor of the Israelites,” declares the LORD of Hosts.

You, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given sovereignty, power, strength, and glory.

As for you, O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness, glory and honor.

Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’

And you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion—the former dominion will be restored to you; sovereignty will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem.”

They are dreaded and feared; from themselves they derive justice and sovereignty.
