“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?”
The observation that the king's word is supreme and no one can say "What are you doing?" asserts the absolute authority of kingship and the futility of questioning it. The rhetorical question emphasizes that power dispenses with justification; subjects may not demand accountability from rulers. This verse presents the reality of political hierarchy without endorsing its justice.
