Deuteronomy 17:18-20

It was a law in Israel that every king (when coronated) was to receive a copy of the law. God was making it very clear that owing to the king... (That is, "the leader." Husband, father, king—it matters not.) Owing to the king's duty to those governed, a ruler's first obligation is to God—from whom the ruler's authority flows. God Himself is the model that the leader (husband, father, king, governor, or whatever) is to follow, and it is God's acts of love and justice that the leader is to keep before his eyes. It is God's qualities that should motivate the act of the leader toward living a blameless life himself.
