Deuteronomy 17:18-20

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

19And it shall be with him, and he shall read it 3all the days of his life, so that he will learn to fear the Lord his God, 4by carefully following all the words of this Law and these statutes,

20so that his heart will not be haughty toward his countrymen, 5and that he will not turn away from the commandment to the right or the left, so that he and his sons may 6live long in his kingdom in the midst of Israel.
