Tribute, often in the form of taxes or offerings, was a common practice in ancient times, symbolizing submission and acknowledgment of authority. Old Testament Context The Old Testament provides several instances where paying tribute to kings is mentioned. One notable example is found in the account of King Solomon, whose wisdom and wealth attracted the attention of surrounding nations. In <a href="/1_kings/10-24.htm">1 Kings 10:24-25</a> , it is recorded: "The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart. Year after year, everyone who came brought a gift—articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, spices, and horses and mules." The practice of paying tribute was not limited to Israel's kings. During the period of the divided kingdom, both Israel and Judah found themselves under the dominion of foreign powers, often required to pay tribute as a sign of subjugation. For instance, in <a href="/2_kings/17-3.htm">2 Kings 17:3-4</a> , Hoshea, the last king of Israel, is described as paying tribute to the Assyrian king Shalmaneser: "Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up to attack Hoshea, who had been Shalmaneser’s vassal and had paid him tribute." New Testament Context In the New Testament, the issue of paying tribute is addressed in the context of Roman rule over Judea. The most direct reference is found in the interaction between Jesus and the Pharisees regarding the payment of taxes to Caesar. In <a href="/matthew/22-17.htm">Matthew 22:17-21</a> , the Pharisees attempt to trap Jesus with the question, "Tell us then, what is Your opinion? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" Jesus responds by asking for a denarius and inquiring whose image is on it. When they answer, "Caesar's," He replies, "So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s." This passage highlights the distinction between earthly and divine authority, emphasizing the believer's responsibility to respect and fulfill obligations to both. The Apostle Paul further elaborates on this principle in <a href="/romans/13-6.htm">Romans 13:6-7</a> , where he writes, "This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work. Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due." Theological Implications From a theological perspective, the act of paying tribute to kings and authorities is seen as part of God's ordained order. Earthly rulers are considered to be established by God, and thus, respecting their authority is an extension of honoring God Himself. This does not imply blind allegiance, especially when such authorities contradict God's commandments, but it does call for a posture of respect and submission in matters that do not conflict with divine law. The biblical narrative consistently portrays the payment of tribute as a practical acknowledgment of the temporal authority that God has allowed to exist. It serves as a reminder of the believer's dual citizenship—one that is both earthly and heavenly—and the responsibility to navigate these realms with wisdom and integrity.<a name="ttt" id="ttt"></a><div class="vheading2">Torrey's Topical Textbook</div><a href="/matthew/22-21.htm">Matthew 22:21</a> They say to him, Caesar's.
