Duties of King
Prov 31:2-9 (NIV) "O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows, 3
do not spend your strength on women,
your vigor on those who ruin kings. 4
"It is not for kings, O Lemuel-- not for kings to
drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer, 5
lest they drink and forget what the law
decrees, and deprive all the oppressed
of their rights. 6 Give beer to those who are
perishing, wine to those who are in
anguish; 7 let them drink and forget their
poverty and remember their misery no
more. 8 "Speak up for those who cannot
speak for themselves, for the rights
of all who are destitute. 9 Speak up and
judge fairly; defend the rights of the
poor and needy."
