Furthermore, unlike their Canaanite, Egyptian, Assyrian and Persian counterparts, Phoenician monarchs did not, as far as is known, recount their exploits and political endeavours in monumental commemorative inscriptions or reliefs.

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.
