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.
