Deuteronomy 17:14-20 - Appointing A King

¹⁴ When thou shalt come to the land which Jehovah thy God gave to thee, and shall possess it and shall dwell in it, and thou saidst, I will set over me a king according to all the nations which are round about me; ¹⁵ Setting, thou shalt set over thee a king whom Jehovah thy God shall choose in him: from the midst of thy brethren thou shalt set over thee a king: thou shalt not be able to set over thee a foreigner who is not of thy brethren. ¹⁶ Only he shall not multiply. to himself horses, and he shall not turn back the people to Egypt in order to multiply the horse: and Jehovah said to you, Ye shall no more add to turn back that way. ¹⁷ And he shall not multiply to him wives, and his heart shall not turn away: and silver and gold he shall not greatly multiply to himself. ¹⁸ And it was when he sits upon the throne of his kingdom and he wrote for him this second law upon a book, from before the priests, the Levites. ¹⁹ And it shall be with him, and he read in it all the days of his life; so that he shall learn to fear Jehovah his God, to watch all the words of this instruction and these laws to do them: ²⁰ Not to lift up his head above his brethren, and not to turn away from the commands, to the right or to the left; so that he shall prolong the days upon his kingdom he, and his sons in the midst of Israel.
