Deuteronomy 17:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Thou shalt set him whom the Lord thy God shall choose out of the number of thy brethren. Thou mayst not make a man of another nation king, that is not thy brother.

¹⁶ And when he is made king, he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor lead back the people into Egypt, being lifted up with the number of his horsemen, especially since the Lord hath commanded you to return no more the same way.

¹⁷ He shall not have many wives, that may allure his mind, nor immense sums of silver and gold.
