In Genesis 14:1, kings signify apparent goods and truths having the upper hand. In the next verse, they stand for the dominant evils and falsities against which the Lord fought as he passed He grew up on Earth.

In Genesis 14:3, we see that these evils and falsities were unclean; and in Genesis 14:4, that they burst forth later. (Arcana Coelestia 1661-1664).

In Genesis 14:14-15, this signifies that the Lord gained victory over them the evils represented earlier in the chapter. (Arcana Coelestia 1711-1715)

In Isaiah 33:17, a king signifies seeing genuine truth. (Apocalypse Explained 304[31])

In Revelation 9:11, a king signifies one who is in truth from an affection for what is good, and abstractly that truth itself -- here, in the opposite sense. (Apocalypse Revealed 440)

2891. Spiritus recentes maximopere se torquent, quomodo capiant quod nemo possit facere bonum a se, nec cogitare verum a se, sed a Domino, credentes quod sic forent sicut machinae nullius rei compotes, et si ita, quod remitterent manus et paterentur se agi: sed illis dicitur quod omnino debeant cogitare, velle, et facere bonum a se, et quod aliter non habere possent proprium caeleste, et liberum caeleste; sed usque agnoscere quod bonum et verum non sit ab iis sed a Domino; et instruuntur quod in tali agnitione, immo in perceptione quod ita sit, omnes angeli sint; et quo exquisitius percipiunt se duci a Domino, et sic esse in Domino, quod eo magis in libero sint.
