Say to the king and the queen mother This phrase directly addresses the ruling authorities of Judah, emphasizing the importance of leadership in guiding the spiritual and moral direction of a nation. The Hebrew word for "king" is "melek," which denotes not just a political leader but one who is supposed to embody the covenantal relationship between God and His people. The "queen mother" (Hebrew: "gebirah") held significant influence in the royal court, often advising the king. This highlights the shared responsibility in leadership and the potential impact of their decisions on the nation's spiritual health. Take a lowly seat for your glorious crowns will fall from your heads Your principalities.--Literally, as in the margin, your head-tires, i.e., the diadems which were signs of kingly state.

It will be noticed that, except in two cases, the names of the mothers of the reigning kings of Judah are scrupulously mentioned in the Books of Kings. This and the title of "mistress" are indications of the high rank they enjoyed in the social system. In the case of Asa, we are told that he removed his mother, Maachah, from her position as "mistress," or queen-mother, on account of her idolatry (1 Kings 15:13). The political value of the station is strikingly shown by the ease with which Athaliah, as queen-mother, usurped the supreme authority (2 Kings 11.). From an historical point of view, the "queen-mother" of the Jews is a most interesting personage; she is a relic of the primitive age in which relationship was reckoned with regard to the mother (so with the Accadians, Etruseans, Finns, etc.). It should be added, however, that once (viz. 1 Kings 11:19) the same title, "mistress," is applied to the queen-consort. Humble yourselves, sit down; rather, sit down in abase-sent; i.e. take the station suitable for your abased circumstances (comp. Isaiah 47:1).
