The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal majesty such as had not been bestowed on any king in Israel before him.

Here: An impressive, radiant dignity that makes people respect someone. It is used mostly of God (v. 11; Ps 104:1). Here God shares a portion of his own splendor with the king.

For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

Psalm 45:3 ה֝וֹדְךָ֗ splendor your

Psalm 96:6 הוֹד־ splendor

Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.

Here: The radiant, commanding majesty that belongs to a king. It is not honor that others give him. It is the splendor he has and gives off. It opens the verse joined by a hyphen to the next word, so the two are said as a single phrase.

Psalm 104:1 ה֭וֹד splendor

Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.

Psalm 111:3 הוֹד־ [is] splendor

Splendid and majestic is His work; His righteousness endures forever.

Psalm 145:5 הוֹדֶ֑ךָ splendor your

the glorious splendor of Your majesty. And I will meditate on Your wondrous works.

Psalm 148:13 ה֝וֹד֗וֹ splendor his

Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

Here: "His majesty." The commanding splendor of a king, the visible weight of his authority. It is not the usual Hebrew word for "glory" (kavod).

Proverbs 5:9 הוֹדֶ֑ךָ vigor your

lest you concede your vigor to others, and your years to one who is cruel;

So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless.

Hosea 14:6 הוֹד֑וֹ splendor its

His shoots will sprout, and his splendor will be like the olive tree, his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.

Habakkuk 3:3 הוֹד֔וֹ splendor his

God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covered the heavens, and His praise filled the earth.

Zechariah 10:3 הוֹד֖וֹ majesty his

“My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders. For the LORD of Hosts attends to His flock, the house of Judah; He will make them like His royal steed in battle.

Here: 'The horse of his majesty' means his own glorious, royal mount. It is the splendid steed a king rides into battle, so 'royal steed' is apt.
