It is used to describe the power or control exercised by a ruler or governing body. In the biblical context, it often denotes the sovereignty or ruling power that God grants to individuals or nations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, authority and dominion were central to the structure of society. Kings and rulers were seen as divinely appointed figures who wielded power over their subjects. The concept of "shilton" reflects this understanding of hierarchical governance, where authority is both a responsibility and a divine mandate. In the biblical narrative, authority is often portrayed as a gift from God, meant to be exercised with justice and righteousness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7980.htm">shalat</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>mastery<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>authoritative (1), authority (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שִׁלְטוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>mastery</b></font> (Lag<sup>BN 199</sup>);
