foot(-stool)

Concise Bible Dictionary:

The usual accompaniment of a throne (2 Chron. 9:1818And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays: (2 Chronicles 9:18)). The earth is the footstool of God's throne in the heavens (Isa. 66:11Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? (Isaiah 66:1); Matt. 5:3535Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. (Matthew 5:35)). It is symbolical of “the place of rest:” David had it on his heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for the “footstool” of God, wherein God could find rest among His people, and where He was to be worshipped (1 Chron. 28:22Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building: (1 Chronicles 28:2); Psalm 99:55Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. (Psalm 99:5)). It is also symbolical of “subjection to power:” the Lord Jesus must reign until all His enemies are made His footstool (Psa. 110:11<<A Psalm of David.>> The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Psalm 110:1); Matt. 22:4444The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? (Matthew 22:44); Acts 2:3535Until I make thy foes thy footstool. (Acts 2:35); Heb. 1:1313But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? (Hebrews 1:13)).
