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)

8019. 'By their hosts' means those people made distinct from one another by the specific character of their good, which is derived from truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'hosts' as forms of good and truths, dealt with above in 7988. 'By hosts' means that those people, those who are represented by 'the children of Israel', were made distinct from one another by the specific character of their good, which is derived from truth; for all in the next life are made distinct from, yet are linked to one another by their varieties of good, see 7833-7836, 8003. The expression 'by the specific character of their good, which is derived from truth' is used because all good derives its specific character from truth, and is for that reason varied, 3804, 4149, 5345, 5355, 6916.
