While [[Mammon]] is commonly referred to in newer Bibles as simply money, it has a larger meaning than that.  It means pretty much anything worldly, especially anything worldly which could or would have a claim over you.  Such as a king, for example.

However many adherents today say that this neglects the fact that no European King (not even Louis XIV who was known for being prideful)ever believed himself to either be god or gods equal, he is simply his ruling representative so when you serve a king you are technically serving god.
