About This Tag
The titles "King of Kings", "Lord of Lords", or "God of Gods", often used in some combination, emerged early in Ancient Near Eastern literature and was first attested in royal inscriptions from third-millennium Ebla and became common in Old Babylonian, Assyrian, and Persian traditions. This language later made its way into the Hebrew Bible and was then again later incorporated into Pseudepigraphic, Deuterocanonical, Christian and eventually Rabbinic tradition and literature.
