'Kings' in the Bible

Because I tell you, many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see but didn't see them, and to hear the things you hear but didn't hear them."

"But before all these things take place, people will arrest you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.

But he told them, "The kings of the unbelievers lord it over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.
