Ecclesiastes 8:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.

My son, fear Jehovah and the king; and do not fellowship with those who are given to change;

Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority but of God; the authorities that exist are ordained by God.

Put them in mind to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to every good work,

Then be in obedience to every ordinance of men, because of the Lord, whether to a king as supreme,

Why then have you not kept the oath of Jehovah and the command that I have charged you with?

And all the rulers and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.

And he has taken of the king's seed and has made a covenant with him, and has taken an oath from him. He has also taken the mighty of the land,

Therefore you must be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake.
