Deuteronomy 17:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² The person who does not show respect for the judge or priest must be put to death. They are there serving the Lord your God. You must get rid of that evil from Israel. ¹³ Then everyone will hear about this. And they will be afraid. They will not show disrespect anymore.

Choosing a King

¹⁴ You will enter the land the Lord your God is giving you. You will take it as your own and live in it. Then you will say, “Let’s appoint a king over us like the nations all around us.”
