הֲדֹם: n.m. stool, footstool [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1492/1916/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.m. stool, footstool, always joined with רַגְלַיִם; only in poet. and late writings, (properly something cast down, low)—ה׳ abs. ψ 110:1 (or cstr. bef. לְ, cf. Ges§ 130, 1); cstr. La 2:1 + 4 times:—footstool, never lit., usually of י׳ Is 66:1 הַשָּׁמַיִם כִּסְאִי וְהָאָרֶץ ה׳ רַגְלַי; elsewhere with ref. to sanctuary ה׳ רַגְלָיו (cf. מְקוֹם רַגְלַי Is 60:13) La 2:1, or perhaps of ark (as place on which God rests) ψ 99:5; 132:7, בֵּית מְנוּחָה לַאֲרוֹן בְּרִית־י׳ וְלַה׳ רַגְלֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ 1 Ch 28:2; of conquest of enemies of Messianic king by Yahweh’s agency אָשִׁית אֹיְבֶיךָ הֲדֹם לְרַגְלֶיךָ ψ 110:1.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 6 of its verses cited, 1 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (2 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (1 candidates)
