Priests and kings in ancient societies often collaborated to reinforce their respective authority and maintain social order. The priests provided spiritual legitimacy to the kings, claiming divine approval for their rule, which helped solidify the monarch's power among the populace. In return, kings offered protection and resources to the priesthood, ensuring their influence in religious and political matters. This mutual support created a framework that intertwined governance and religion, fostering stability within the society.
