He said,“ These are the rights of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and put them to his use in his chariots, on his horses, or running in front of his chariots.He can appoint them for his use as commanders of thousands or commanders of fifties, to plow his ground and reap his harvest, or to make his weapons of war and the equipment for his chariots.He can take your daughters to become perfumers, cooks, and bakers.He can take your best fields, vineyards, and olive orchards and give them to his servants.He can take a tenth of your grain and your vineyards and give them to his officials and servants.He can take your male servants, your female servants, your best cattle, and your donkeys and use them for his work.He can take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves can become his servants.When that day comes, you will cry out because of the king you’ve chosen for yourselves, but the LORD won’t answer you on that day.”

“ When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, take possession of it, live in it, and say,‘ I will set a king over me like all the nations around me,’you are to appoint over you the king the LORD your God chooses. Appoint a king from your brothers. You are not to set a foreigner over you, or one who is not of your people.However, he must not acquire many horses for himself or send the people back to Egypt to acquire many horses, for the LORD has told you,‘ You are never to go back that way again.’He must not acquire many wives for himself so that his heart won’t go astray. He must not acquire very large amounts of silver and gold for himself.When he is seated on his royal throne, he is to write a copy of this instruction for himself on a scroll in the presence of the Levitical priests.It is to remain with him, and he is to read from it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to observe all the words of this instruction, and to do these statutes.Then his heart will not be exalted above his countrymen, he will not turn from this command to the right or the left, and he and his sons will continue reigning many years in Israel.

Remind them to submit to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,

“ This is what the Lord GOD says: If the prince gives a gift to each of his sons as their inheritance, it will belong to his sons. It will become their property by inheritance.But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it will belong to that servant until the year of freedom, when it will revert to the prince. His inheritance belongs only to his sons; it is theirs.The prince must not take any of the people’s inheritance, evicting them from their property. He is to provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of my people will be displaced from his own property.”

Let everyone submit to the governing authorities, since there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are instituted by God.So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God’s command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves.For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Do what is good, and you will have its approval.For it is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For it is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one who does wrong.Therefore, you must submit, not only because of wrath but also because of your conscience.And for this reason you pay taxes, since the authorities are God’s servants, continually attending to these tasks.Pay your obligations to everyone: taxes to those you owe taxes, tolls to those you owe tolls, respect to those you owe respect, and honor to those you owe honor.

Submit to every human authority because of the Lord, whether to the emperor as the supreme authorityor to governors as those sent out by him to punish those who do what is evil and to praise those who do what is good.

for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

“ This is what the Lord GOD says: You have gone too far, princes of Israel! Put away violence and oppression and do what is just and right. Put an end to your evictions of my people.” This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.“ You are to have honest scales, an honest dry measure, and an honest liquid measure.
