Laws Concerning Israel's Kings

¹⁴ “When you come to the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and you possess it and dwell in it and then say, ^(B)‘I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,’ ¹⁵ you may indeed set a king over you ^(C)whom the Lord your God will choose. One ^(D)from among your brothers you shall set as king over you. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
