footstool - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Footstool
  connected with a throne (2 Chr. 9:18). Jehovah symbolically
  dwelt in the holy place between the cherubim above the ark of
  the covenant. The ark was his footstool (1 Chr. 28:2; Ps. 99:5;
  132:7). And as heaven is God's throne, so the earth is his
  footstool (Ps. 110:1; Isa. 66:1; Matt. 5:35).
