Deuteronomy 17:13-15

New Life Version

¹³ Then all the people will hear and be afraid. They will not act in a foolish way again.

A King

¹⁴ “When you go into the land the Lord your God gives you, and own it and live in it, and you say, ‘I will have a king rule over me like all the nations around me,’ ¹⁵ then you will set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses. Set a king over you from among your brothers. Do not give a stranger power over you if he is not your brother.
