14
When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy Godgiveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
15
Thou shalt in any wiseset him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou setking over thee: thou mayest not set a strangerover thee, which is not thy brother.
16
But he shall not multiplyhorses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiplyhorses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforthreturn no more that way.
18
And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
19
And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
20
That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
