Deuteronomy 17:12-17 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

12. And the man that shall act presumptuously, and not hearken unto the priest that standeth to serve there before Jehovah thy God or unto the judge, that man shall die; and thou shalt put away evil from Israel.

13. And all the people shall hear, and fear, and no more act presumptuously.

14. When thou comest unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are about me;

15. thou shalt only set him king over thee whom Jehovah thy God will choose: from among thy brethren shalt thou set a king over thee; thou mayest not set a foreigner over thee, who is not thy brother.

16. Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor lead back the people to Egypt, to multiply horses; for Jehovah hath said unto you, Ye shall not return again any more that way.

17. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
