In the Timothy passage, the context is about praying for kings. Why? Because it is God's will that all TYPES of men be saved. Not just the average joe, not just the workers and down trodden but yes, even kings. We are to pray for their salvation because God has not left them out of his will just because they are kings and may even be oppressive. That's my take on the Timothy passage.
