'Rule Over' in the Bible
And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them.
And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be the root of Jesse, And he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; On him shall the Gentiles hope.
Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith.
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them : for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.
Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
