Exegesis
The second clause begins with vehayah {וְהָיָ֛ה | wə-hā-yāh} 'and he will be', indicating result, followed by the construct lekisse kavod {לְכִסֵּ֥א כָב֖וֹד | lə-kis-śê kā-bô-ḏ} 'for a throne of glory', which metaphorically conveys regal honor.
In context — Isaiah 22:23
And I will fasten him like a peg in a firm place, and he will become a throne of glory for the house of his father.
