Deuteronomy 17:15-17

New Life Version

¹⁵ then you will set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses. Set a king over you from among your brothers. Do not give a stranger power over you if he is not your brother. ¹⁶ He must not take many horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get many horses. Because the Lord has told you, ‘You must never again return that way.’ ¹⁷ He must not take many wives for himself or his heart may turn away. And he must not gather much silver and gold for himself.
