Why doesnt grendel touch king Hrothgar throne?

It's not really clear whether the "gift throne" which cannot be approached respectfully is Hrothgar's literal throne, or if God's throne is implied. ... Hrothgar is God's representative on earth, and Grendel is a descendant of Cain, so God made Hrothgar's throne distasteful to Grendel and impossible for him to approach.
