Deuteronomy 17:16-20

16The king must never own a large number of horses or make the people return to Egypt to get more horses. The Lord has told you, “You will never go back there again.”

17The king must never have a large number of wives, or he will turn away ⌞from God⌟. And he must never own a lot of gold and silver.

18When he becomes king, he should have the Levitical priests make him a copy of these teachings on a scroll.

19He must keep it with him and read it his entire life. He will learn to fear the Lord his God and faithfully obey everything found in these teachings and laws.

20Then he won’t think he’s better than the rest of his people, and he won’t disobey these commands in any way. So he and his sons will rule for a long time in Israel.
