Deuteronomy 17:13-15

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹³ And all the people shall hear and [reverently] fear, and not act presumptuously again.

¹⁴ When you come to the land which the Lord your God gives you and you possess it and live there, and then say, We will set a king over us like all the nations that are about us,

¹⁵ You shall surely set as king over you him whom the Lord your God will choose. One from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner, who is not your brother, over you.
