In 1 Chron.29:20 LXX, it states KAMPSANTES TA GONATA PROSEKUNHSAN TWi KURIWi KAI TWi BASILEI. In this passage, PROSEKUNHSAN is used of both the Lord and the king (David). Would this passage indicate that the king was also seen as an object of homage with God? The dative case in both articles and nouns KURIWi and BASILEI indicate that the Deity and the king were the recipients of such homage. I know this question may appear more theological than textual, but is the king in this passage presented as the Deity's vice-regent on the earth? Many thanks.
