I Chronicles 29:25 Kabbalah: Sha'arei Orah

וַיְגַדֵּ֨ל יְהוָ֤ה אֶת־שְׁלֹמֹה֙ לְמַ֔עְלָה לְעֵינֵ֖י כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיִּתֵּ֤ן עָלָיו֙ ה֣וֹד מַלְכ֔וּת אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹֽא־הָיָ֧ה עַל־כָּל־מֶ֛לֶךְ לְפָנָ֖יו עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ (פ)

And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

Sha'arei Orah

Know now, that this quality called Bo’az-בועז receives vigor-Oz-עוז from might-Gevurah, and fortification-Ma’oz-מעוז from understanding-Binah, as written,91Psalms 68:36 “It is He Who grants might-Oz-עוז and power to the people.” From this place there is a drawing forth of all kinds of strength, emanation and might, stemming from judgment-Din and terror-Pachad, and by this power, HaShem’s-יהו״ה Divine quality of Lordship-Adona”y-אדנ״י sits in regal majesty-Hod Malchut-הוד מלכות.92See Chronicles I 29:25; Midrash Shemot Rabba 15:26 Therefore, know and understand, that wherever you find the terms “thankfulness-Hoda’ah-הודאה” or “submission-Modim-מודים,” you must draw justice to light.93That is, these terms indicate bowing, as mentioned before, which itself indicates the matter of lowering and drawing down. The term justice-Mishpat-משפט, refers to beauty-Tiferet, and thus, this indicates the drawing down from the quality of beauty-Tiferet into revelation in kingship-Malchut.
