King of Kings
Ultimate imperial title
King of Kings is a title asserting supremacy over other rulers—a king who reigns above lesser kings.
The phrase appears in ancient Persian inscriptions and biblical texts, where it refers to God or Jesus Christ.
In religious contexts, it conveys ultimate divine authority: He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The title was also used by Ethiopian emperors and other monarchs claiming paramount sovereignty.
