1 Timothy 2:2

2. For kings Specially the most important of men on earth, whose wellbeing and welldoing have most effect on the wellbeing and welldoing of all other men. Kings is here simply the representative term, suggested by the habits of the age, for any other governmental ruling persons or person, as queen, president, stadtholder, or senate.

All… in authority Official agencies, the whole officiary, under the supreme.

That Such public intercession for rulers does not terminate in the wellbeing of the persons. It takes place in order that the quietude necessary to the wellbeing, temporal and eternal, of the community, may be preserved. See notes on Romans 13:1-7. Quietude, godliness, and honesty, that is, orderly deportment, were the results sought in prayer.
