1 kings 4:20-27
0The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore; they ate, they drank and they were happy.
21And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River[1] to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. These countries brought tribute and were Solomon's subjects all his life.
22Solomon's daily provisions were thirty corsThat is, probably about 185 bushels (about 6.6 kiloliters) of fine flour and sixty cors[2] of meal,23ten head of stall-fed cattle, twenty of pasture-fed cattle and a hundred sheep and goats, as well as deer, gazelles, roebucks and choice fowl.24For he ruled over all the kingdoms west of the River, from Tiphsah to Gaza, and had peace on all sides.25During Solomon's lifetime Judah and Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, lived in safety, each man under his own vine and fig tree.

26Solomon had fourSome Septuagint manuscripts (see also 2 Chron. 9:25); Hebrew forty thousand stalls for chariot horses, and twelve thousand horses.[3]
27The district officers, each in his month, supplied provisions for King Solomon and all who came to the king's table. They saw to it that nothing was lacking.28They also brought to the proper place their quotas of barley and straw for the chariot horses and the other horses.
Romand 13:1-7
1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
How to treat a minority/foreigner
From 1 kings 4:41-45
â œAs for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your nameâ ”
42for men will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched armâ ”when he comes and prays toward this temple,43then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.
Deut. 10:19
And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt.
Exodus 12:43-44
43The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, â œThese are the regulations for the Passover:
â œNo foreigner is to eat of it.
44Any slave you have bought may eat of it after you have circumcised him,45but a temporary resident and a hired worker may not eat of it.
Deut 23-3-6
3No Ammonite or Moabite or any of his descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even down to the tenth generation.
4For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram NaharaimThat is, Northwest Mesopotamia to pronounce a curse on you.5However, the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.6Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them as long as you live.
Judges 3:5-6
The Israelites lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
6They took their daughters in marriage and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
Unbelievers
1 Corinthians 7:12-14
2To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.13And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
1 Corinthians 14-22-25
22Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.23So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand[4] or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?
24But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understandOr or some inquirer comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all,
25and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, â œGod is really among you!â
