set: This word is used to translate the Hebrew words (moshabh, shebheth, kicce', and tekhunah), once (Job 23:3). It translates the Greek word (kathedra) (Mt 21:12;23:2;Mr 11:15), and "chief seat" translates the compound word (protokathedria) (Mt 23:6;Mr 12:39;Lu 20:46). In the King James Version it translates (thronos) (Lu 1:52;Re 2:13;4:4;11:16;13:2;16:10), which the Revised Version (British and American) renders "throne." It denotes a place or thing upon which one sits, as a chair, or stool (1Sa 20:18;Jud 3:20). It is used also of the exalted position occupied by men of marked rank or influence, either in good or evil (Mt 23:2;Ps 1:1).
