Special honor, respect, or allegiance, such as that shown to a king; obeisance; reverence. Homage is most often paid to the king (1 Chronicles 29:20 NAS, 2 Chronicles 24:17 NIV) or to a high-ranking official ( Genesis 43:28; Esther 3:2 ,Esther 3:2,3:5 NAS). Homage is sometimes paid to holy men (Samuel, 1 Samuel 28:14 NAS; Daniel, Daniel 2:46 NAS, NRSV). Homage is paid to God as the King of Israel ( 1 Chronicles 29:20; Isaiah 18:7 NAS). The Roman soldiers paid Christ mock homage before the crucifixion ( Mark 15:19 NRSV).
