The throne is a metonym for the king. Alternate translation: "to be king over the house of Israel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house. In this case it refers to the kingdom of Israel. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 3:18](../03/18.md). Alternate translation: "Israel" or "the kingdom of Israel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
