14“WhenH3588 you enterH935 the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 givesH5414 you, and you 1possessH3423 it and liveH3427 in it, and you sayH559, ‘2I will setH7760 a kingH4428 overH5921 me like allH3605 the nationsH1471 whoH834 are aroundH5439 me,’ 15you shall surelyH7760 setH7760 a kingH4428 overH5921 you whomH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 choosesH977, one 3from amongH7130 your 4countrymenH251 you shall setH7760 as kingH4428 overH5921 yourselves; you mayH3201 not putH5414 a foreignerH5237 overH5921 yourselves whoH834 is not your 5countrymanH251. 166MoreoverH7534, he shall not multiplyH7235 horsesH5483 for himself, norH3808 shall he 7cause the peopleH5971 to returnH7725 to EgyptH4714 to multiplyH7235 horsesH5483, since 8the LordH3068 has saidH559 to you, ‘You shall neverH3808 againH3254 returnH7725 that wayH1870.’ 179He shall not multiplyH7235 wivesH802 for himself, 10orH3808 elseH3808 his heartH3824 will turnH5493 awayH5493; norH3808 shall he greatlyH3966 increaseH7235 silverH3701 and goldH2091 for himself.
18“Now it shall comeH1961 about when he sitsH3427 on the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, he shall writeH3789 for himself a copyH4932 of thisH2088 lawH8451 on a scrollH5612 1112in the presenceH6440 of the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548. 19It shall be with him and he shall readH7121 it 13allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2425, that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LordH3068 his GodH430, 14by carefullyH6213 observingH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 lawH8451 and theseH428 statutesH2706, 20that his heartH3824 may not be liftedH7311 up aboveH4480 his 15countrymenH251 16and that he may not turnH5493 asideH5493 from the commandmentH4687, to the rightH3225 or the leftH8040, soH4616 that he and his sonsH1121 may continueH748 longH748H3117 in his kingdomH4467 in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478.
