Chardin, describing a splendid tent erected by the king of Persia, says ""that there was an inscription wrought upon the cornice of the anti-chamber, which gave it the appellation of the throne of the second Solomon."" Sitting upon a throne has, however, sometimes been granted to governors. Neh 2:8"
