King of Judah on David's Throne

[Wrangler]

In today's devotional reading @ Jeremiah 22:2 it is written

‘King of Y’hudah occupying David’s throne, hear the word of Adonai — you, your servants and your people who enter through these gates.​

CJB​

What to make of one Being (King Zedekiah in this case), sitting on another Being's throne (not Saul, who was Israel's 1st king but David, who God made a covenant with)?

It seems to mean the current occupant on the throne is NOT identified as the owner of the throne. It certainly is a way of speaking not common today. Thoughts?
