Mesopotamians believed that a king's power derived from divine authority, often viewing the ruler as chosen by the gods to govern and maintain order. They thought that the king acted as an intermediary between the gods and the people, responsible for ensuring the favor of the deities through rituals and offerings. This belief in divine sanction reinforced the king's legitimacy and authority in both political and religious matters.
