No, he had no such authority. He was given no Divine instruction to do so. God gave Israel a king as they requested (like the Gentile nations) but the king was to serve God and was under His authority. He was not a sovereign.JL: Scripture supports it and no David did n’t elevate his mother to a throne, but the son of David, Solomon did, whom will build a HOUSE FOR THE LORD (Temple). As God’s anointed king he had complete authority to institute any office he saw fit for the kingdom.
Notice, no “queen mother.” Sorry, my friend, but there is no mention of a “Gebirah” in ANY of the prophecies regarding the Messianic, Davidic Kingdom (which is yet to come). Not even Gabriel said anything to Mary at the Annunciation regarding such a position. That would have been the time to say something about it - but, alas, more silence.If Mary’s son is the Son of David and King in David’s line, then Mary is Gebirah=Queen Mother in the regenerated spiritual Kingdom of Israel in the line of king David=Kingdom of God. Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase OF HIS GOVERNMENT and peace THERE SHALL BE NO END, UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID, and upon HIS KINGDOM, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even FOR EVER. The zeal of THE LORD of hosts WILL PERFORM THIS.
Sorry, my friend, but that position just doesn’t exist - now or in the Messianic Kingdom yet to come. As told to Mary, the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father DAVID (not Solomon.) It’s the Davidic Kingdom, not the kingdom of Solomon. David didn’t elevate his mother. And as a side note, Mary’s line isn’t through Solomon but through Nathan (Lk. 3:31). Not that it would have mattered - there’s simply no such position prophesied or was announced by the angel to Mary.
And the fact is, not even Christ is reigning as King yet. Presently He shares His heavenly Father’s throne in heaven functioning there as the believer’s High Priest. However, He will rightfully ascend His father David’s throne in Jerusalem at His second Advent. Just as Mary was told. But Gabriel said nothing of a throne for Mary - nothing!
