Deuteronomy 17:18-20

18“Now it shall come about when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself a copy of this law on a scroll 1 2in the presence of the Levitical priests.

19It shall be with him and he shall read it 3all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, 4by carefully observing all the words of this law and these statutes,

20that his heart may not be lifted up above his 5countrymen 6and that he may not turn aside from the commandment, to the right or the left, so that he and his sons may continue long in his kingdom in the midst of Israel.
