The KJV renders 5 different Hebrew and Greek words as “set on”

What it means

a step, i.e. foot-breath; by implication, a rostrum, i.e. a tribunal

from the base of G939 (βάσις);

How the KJV renders it

judgmentseat, set on, throne

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

set on
also renders epitíthēmi (G2007), epibibázō (G1913), epikathízō (G1940), shâphath (H8239)
throne
also renders thrónos (G2362), kiççêʼ (H3678), korçêʼ (H3764)
