What Does “King” Mean in the Bible?

In the King James Bible, King means leader in modern English. It is an archaic word from the 1611 KJV that has dropped out of everyday use.

What Was Lost

The comprehensive authority. When scripture calls God 'King,' it means absolute sovereign over every domain of existence -- not a figurehead, not a constitutional monarch, not a fairy-tale character. The King of kings held total authority over life, death, nature, nations, and every human soul simultaneously.
