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 Yahweh and the king. Don't join those who are rebellious:

Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.

Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

Why then have you not kept the oath of Yahweh, and the commandment that I have instructed you with?"

All the princes, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of king David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.

and he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land;

Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake.
