  • Deut 17:14-20 : 14 When you come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, 'I will set a king over me like all the nations that are around me,' 15 you shall surely set a king over you whom the LORD your God chooses: one from among your brothers you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother. 16 But he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, for the LORD has said to you, 'You shall not return that way again.' 17 Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold for himself. 18 Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests, the Levites. 19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the LORD his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes. 20 That his heart may not be lifted above his brothers, that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, and that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel.

  • Rom 13:1-7 : 1 Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority except from God; the authorities that exist are ordained by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist shall bring judgment upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who does evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. 6 For this reason, pay your taxes also, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
  • 1 Tim 2:2 : 2 For kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty.
