That's not really the process, Kingship was something developed over time. Initially you would have the most capable leaders in charge of the group, but over time as they gained power said leadership became hereditary.

Also, you should look into the Divine Rights of Kings.

>who was the first king
The ruler of the first city.

>and how did they get to power?
We can only speculate. Think about this family of non-city dwellers who leads a tribe and gets the first city going.

Tribal Chiefs mostly.

Also Monarchs in history rarely ruled alone, they had ton of staff advising them. They do get the final say though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_right_of_kings
>The divine right of kings or divine right is a political and religious doctrine of royal and political legitimacy. It asserts that a monarch is subject to no earthly authority, deriving the right to rule directly from the will of God. The king is thus not subject to the will of his people, the aristocracy, or any other estate of the realm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandate_of_Heaven
>The Mandate of Heaven (Chinese: 天命; pinyin: tiānmìng; literally: "heaven decree") is an ancient Chinese belief and philosophical idea that tiān (heaven) granted emperors the right to rule based on their ability to govern well and fairly

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_king


History is clearly marked by the progressive descent of civilization, power and values from the level of the highest caste to that of the lowest. With the end of those systems based on pure spiritual authority ('sacral civilizations' ruled by 'divine kings'), authority fell into the hands of the warrior aristocracy: here began the cycle of great monarchies - the 'divine right' of the sovereign representing the residual echo of a former sacred dignity. The bourgeois revolution, democracy, capitalism and industrialism then contributed to transfer power into the hands of the representatives of the third caste, that of the wealthy - such transferral radically altering the character of the civilization and the nature of its interests. In the present day, socialism, Marxism and Communism are foreshadowing - and have already partly brought about - the final phase: the advent of the fourth caste, that of servants. Servants ('workers' and proletarians) are here seen to organize themselves in an attempt to gain power and to conquer the world, leaving their imprint on all aspects of life, leading the historical process of regression to its close.

Accurate. Baron Evola once again shows the sharp intellectual and metaphysical insight to a matter of kingship leaving Marxist rationalist theories and Jungian (Also a Jew) "Tribal ape rapes the alpha male cpmplexion" -theories on aside and concentrates on actual history and fundamental beginnings of true Kingship.

How are they wrong?

So God was the first king?
>>
>>795157
Humans formed tribes ruled by the strongest and most capable, and as the tribe grew and organized the power became codified and hereditary
>>795367
And some of that. Many ancient leaders claimed to be gods or descend from them

tribal chiefs
>>
With the onset of agriculture, it was possible for individuals to hoard food. They could then host feasts and parties for lots of people, essentially buying their friendship. In archaeology this is a commonly accepted theory on how stratified civilizations happened.

I wish book-historians would stop talking about prehistory
>>
>>799224
anon pls
>>
>>795157
Seriously? Tribal chieftains.

Hunter-gatherer tribe settles down and begin farming, agricultural civilization develop and cities pop up. Cities and towns have larger resource pool and population so it needs a more complex administration to manage.

So tribal chieftains are upgraded to kings. Their close subordinates become ministers and lords. And then they establish an inheritance of titles system.

Thus a kingdom is born.

>>795453
i'm pretty sure divine right/mandate of heaven wasn't the reason why kings existed but mostly a tool to conserve the power and remove any kind of legimitacy doubt
>>
>>795157
God is the first and highest king there was and will be. Every (christian) king/emperor is gods vasall.
