I am assuming that you talking about the Jewish kings.
It depended on whether or not the kings walked with God them selves.
For example:
Saul was the 1st king, and though he was chosen by God, he did not lead the people to follow after God. The people did not do so on their own and fell into sin. Saul lost his kingship because of his "evil" heart towards God in not listening and obeying in what God told him to do.
David, the king after him, was a man of war, but lead the people to choose God and the people repented.David won many battles because God was with him and the people prospered. When David sinned in his personal life He repented before God and won God's favor once more.
David's son Solomon who reigned in his place, built a temple to God and the people followed hard after God. But when Solomon married wives of other ethnic groups, he built temples to their Gods also. The people then began to seek after other Gods and turned from their one true God with dire circumstances for the Jewish nation. I have never found that Solomon ever repented.
The Israelites' always stumbled from their moorings when their kings were not following God.
Or did you mean what was their part in the religion its self?
The Kings were not to spill the blood of sacrifice, the priests did that work before God. They were to ask God about all the goings on in the political field. They were to reign with a just hand and follow after God personally then follow the orders of God diligently.
The priests were the ones that lead the people in religion. They cared for the temple and the instruments of the temple. They lead the people in the observances and taught Gods word to the young. They killed all the offerings and took care to pray for the people.
How ever as the kings went- so the people.
Hope this helps. -Karla-

How did religion play a role in the American Revolution?
It was the Age of Enlightenment, and religion was beginning to lose its grip on the intellectual world. Many of the Founding Fathers were Deists or Naturalists; they believed in "Nature's God", or Creation itself, rather than a personal God. Some found wisdom in the proponents of different faiths (Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, etc.), and some didn't. Many monarchs (kings and queens) believed in the "Divine Right of Kings"; that God appointed them to their jobs, and wanted them there. The bad choices made by many monarchs called the whole idea into question.
