The early religion of Juduaism also kept a close relationship with their God. In the beginning with the Judaism implemented in Israel, God was considered the king over Israel. However, later on Jewish people decided they wanted a human ruler like other nations. The Jews kept a very close relationship with their God, in the law of moses it states that you must love God, and also fear him. Also, not to worship other Gods as this was compared to like comitting adultery metaphorically.
