8-) Read my post again.”This institution” is referring to Solomon’s exaltation of the Gebirah, or Queen Mother.
So what ? He also bowed downed and build high places (temples) to the gods his wives worshiped . The very foreign wives he was not suppose to marry . You do know that Solomon is not in Jesus lineage don't you? His kingdom was taken away from him and he died in apostasy worshiping devils .

You also said this .... which is what I quoted and answered before.

Saul was anointed king in God’s name by Samuel. I don’t think God was offended by this institution.

YES HE WAS OFFENDED THAT THEY REJECTED HIM.

1Sa 8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

You should read the entire chapter and the next few to see what happened. The children of Israel wanted a king to rule over them and fight their battles ... up until then it was God that was fighting their battles for them .

Because a president is sinful, does that mean his office is invalid or void? Was Solomon’s office void? The queen’s? The queen mother’s?

These passages simply point out the historical fact that the office of the queen mother, or “Gebirah,” was more exalted than that of the queen.

Was not Solomon the king of the House of David, as is Jesus?

“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.” -—Rev 3:7

If Jesus is the King of the eternal House of David (He holds the key of David (see also Isaiah 22)), then His mother, Mary, is His Queen Mother, the queen of the eternal House of David, or the Queen of Heaven.

“A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” -—Rev 12

Yes. Nevertheless, God granted their request, which fell within His providential plan.

“When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,” 15 be sure to appoint over you a king the LORD your God chooses. He must be from among your fellow Israelites. Do not place a foreigner over you, one who is not an Israelite.”-—Deut 17:14-15

God would not be offended by the office of the queen mother, or “Gebirah,” any more than He was offended by their request for an earthly king, which He granted, despite their earthly motivation.
