Hi,
"Rabbi Yannai taught: Reverence for the throne should
always be upon you, as it is written (Sh'mot 11), 'All of your slaves will
descend to me and bow to me, saying, 'Leave, you and all of the nation that is
with you.'"
(Talmud, Menachot 98a)
The reference to Sh'mot 11 is to Moses' speech to Pharoah.
Moses tells Pharaoh that Pharaoh's slaves will come and bow to Moses. In
fact, Pharaoh himself would end up doing this - but Moses, out of
respect for Pharaoh and the throne, refers only to the slaves.
Have a great day,
Mordechai
