The priests Zadok and Abiathar are already there; whatever information you pick up in the palace, tell them.

Treat everyone you meet with dignity. Love your spiritual family. Revere God. Respect the government.
  • Romans 13:1 - Be a good citizen. All governments are under God. Insofar as there is peace and order, it’s God’s order. So live responsibly as a citizen.

Decent citizens should have nothing to fear.
  • Romans 13:3 - Do you want to be on good terms with the government? Be a responsible citizen and you’ll get on just fine, the government working to your advantage.

That’s why you must live responsibly—not just to avoid punishment but also because it’s the right way to live.
  • Romans 13:6 - That’s also why you pay taxes—so that an orderly way of life can be maintained. Fulfill your obligations as a citizen. Pay your taxes, pay your bills, respect your leaders. * * *
