Deuteronomy 17:14-20

14When thou comest unto the landH776 which Jehovah thy 1GodH430 giveth thee, and shalt possessH3423 it, and shalt dwellH3427 therein, and shalt sayH559, I will setH7760 a kingH4428 over me, like all the nationsH1471 that are about me; 15thou shalt only setH7760 him kingH4428 over thee whom Jehovah thy 2GodH430 will chooseH977: from among thy brethren shalt thou setH7760 a kingH4428 over thee; thou mayest not setH7760 a foreignerH5237 over thee, who is not thy brotherH251. 16OnlyH7535 he shall not multiplyH7235 horsesH5483 to himself, nor lead backH7725 the peopleH5971 to EgyptH4714, to multiplyH7235 horsesH5483; for Jehovah hath saidH559 unto you, Ye shall not returnH7725 againH5750 any more that wayH1870. 17Neither shall he multiplyH7235 wives to himself, that his heartH3824 turnH5493 not awayH5493; neither shall he greatly multiplyH7235 to himself silverH3701 and goldH2091. 18And it shall beH1961, when he sitteth upon the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 for himself a copyH4932 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612 out of that which is before the priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881; 19and it shall beH1961 with him, and he shall readH7121 therein all the daysH3117 of his life; that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 Jehovah his 3GodH430, to keepH8104 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 and these statutesH2706, to do them; 20that his heartH3824 be not liftedH7311 up above his brethren, and that he turnH5493 not asideH5493 from the commandmentH4687, to the rightH3225 handH3225, or to the left; that he may prolongH748 his daysH3117 in his kingdomH4467, he, and his sonsH1121, in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478.
