18“Now it shall comeH1961 aboutH1961, when he sitsH3427 on the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 for himself a copyH4932 of thisH2088 LawH8451 on a scrollH5612 12in the presenceH6440 of the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548.

19And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 it 3allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2425, soH4616 thatH4616 he will learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LordH3068 his GodH430, 4by carefullyH8104 followingH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 LawH8451 and theseH428 statutesH2706,
