Deuteronomy 17:16-19

New International Version

¹⁶ The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses^(A) for himself^(B) or make the people return to Egypt^(C) to get more of them,^(D) for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.”^{(E) 17} He must not take many wives,^(F) or his heart will be led astray.^(G) He must not accumulate^(H) large amounts of silver and gold.^(I)

¹⁸ When he takes the throne^(J) of his kingdom, he is to write^(K) for himself on a scroll a copy^(L) of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. ¹⁹ It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life^(M) so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees^(N)
