The three fundamental and intertwined tenets of Near Eastern kingship can thus be identified in Phoenician royal ideology: that the monarch belonged to heaven and thus his kingship was a god-given gift; that he had a judicial responsibility to guard and protect his subjects against the harsh realities of life; and that kingship was sacred.

Phoenician temples (at least those consecrated to ‘Ashtart) employed guards, servants, barbers, scribes, musicians, butchers, bakers, a ‘water master’, a ‘sacrificer’ and sacred prostitutes.
