14When you come to the land that the LORD your God is giving you, and you possess it and dwell in it, and you say, 'I will set a king over myself like all the nations around me,'15You shall indeed set a king over you whom the LORD your God chooses from among your brothers; you shall set a king over you, yet you may not place over yourself a foreign man who is not your brother.16Only he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor return the people to Egypt in order to multiply horses, for the LORD has said to you, 'You shall not again return by this way.'17And he shall not multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn aside, nor shall he multiply silver and gold for himself greatly.18And it shall be, when he sits upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this instruction on a scroll from before the priests, the Levites.19It shall remain with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God by keeping all the words of this instruction and these statutes by doing them.20So that his heart may not be exalted above his brothers, and so that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right or to the left, in order that he and his sons may prolong days upon his kingdom in the midst of Israel.
