Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis basilea {εἰς βασιλέα | eis basiléa} “as king” uses eis with an accusative to denote appointment into an office rather than mere location.
In context — Acts 13:22
And after removing him, He raised up David for them as king, to whom He also said, after bearing witness, “I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart , who will do all My will.”
