Deuteronomy 17:14

Compare all

12 Now ^athe man who acts presumptuously and will not heed the priest who stands to minister there before the Lord your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So you shall put away the evil from Israel.

13 ^aAnd all the people shall hear and fear, and no longer act presumptuously.

Principles Governing Kings

14 “When you come to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, ^a‘I will set a king over me like all the nations that are around me,’

15 you shall surely set a king over you ^awhom the Lord your God chooses; one ^bfrom among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.

16 But he shall not multiply ^ahorses for himself, nor cause the people ^bto return to Egypt to multiply horses, for ^cthe Lord has said to you, ^d‘You shall not return that way again.’

17 Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and ^agold for himself.

18 “Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the one ^abefore the priests, the Levites.
