In Hebrew, the root word is "nathan," which means to give or to set. This implies a divine impartation of qualities necessary for righteous governance. The "king" here is traditionally understood to be Solomon, but it also prophetically points to the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who embodies perfect justice. The term "justice" in Hebrew is "mishpat," which refers to judgment, law, and the right order of things. In a historical context, kings were seen as God's representatives on earth, tasked with maintaining justice and order. This plea for divine justice underscores the belief that true justice originates from God and is essential for righteous leadership.

God had established in Israel, in the person of David, hereditary monarchy (2 Samuel 7:12-16), such as was usual in the East, and suited to Oriental notions. In speaking of himself, not only as "the king," but also as "the king's son," Solomon makes appeal to the sentiment of respect for hereditary royalty. Compare the inscription of Mesha, "My father was king over Moab thirty years, and I became king after my father" (line 1). In praying God to give him "his judgments," he is desiring a "spirit of judgment" which will enable him to deliver decisions as righteous as God's.Parallel Commentaries ...
