- "Be¹ it knownª°²° nowª unto the king,ª that,¹ ifª thisª cityª be builded,ª° and the wallsª set upª° [again, then] will they notª payª° toll,ª tribute,ª and custom,ª and [so] thou shalt endamageª° the revenueª of the kings.ª ... Nowª becauseªª¹ we have² maintenanceªª° from [the king's] palace,ª and it was notª meetª° for us to seeª° the king'sª dishonour,ª thereforeªª have we sentª° and certifiedª° the king;ª" {Ezr 4:13-14} + "Forª for²° this² causeª¹ pay¹ ye²° tributeª also:ª forª they areª° God'sª ministers,ª attending continuallyª° uponª this² very thing.ª¹ ... Renderª° thereforeª to allª their dues:ª tributeª to whomª tributeª [is due]; customª to whomª custom;ª fearª to whomª fear;ª honourª to whomª honour.ª" {Rom 13:6-7}
