If there is a power structure, any power structure, then there must be a king, and only one.
Power structures are : Secret Alliance, "RULE OF KING" and not "RULE OF LAW", secret societies where one has to pledge allegiance and obey senior, Chinese Communist Party, ... etc.
Examples of people unwilling to share power
- King Saul sought to kill David.
- Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam.
- Herod killed all male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men about the age of Jesus. [Matthew 2:16-17]
Link to Online Bible
- Jehoram, son of King Jehoshaphat, killed all his brothers once he got kingship.
[2 Chronicles 21:1-4]
Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat; Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, gold, and valuable possessions, together with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the first born. When Jehoram had ascended the throne of his father and was established, he slew all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Judah.
- Athaliah destroyed all the royal family, and became king herself.
[2 Kings 11:1-3]
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family. But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were about to be slain, and she put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. Thus she hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain; and he remained with her six years, hid in the house of the LORD, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
The above were examples from the Bible. There were numerous cases in China, in Europe, in India, ... that son would kill father, brother would kill brother, ..., so as to get power, to become a king.
One recent case was Stalin, Russia dictator during WWII. There were several people who were his comrades and who helped him. But over the years, Stalin killed them one by one, and finally only Stalin was left to rule Russia.
Find a king in history who was willing to share his power with someone. You will find no one.
WHEREVER THERE IS A POWER STRUCTURE, THAT IS, IN PLACES WHERE "RULE OF LAW, ONE LAW FOR ALL" IS TRAMPLED, AND PEOPLE HAVE TO OBEY ORDER FROM SOME SUPERIOR, WHETHER OPENLY OR SECRETLY, THERE MUST BE A KING, AND ONLY ONE.
