~ When the King Takes His Throne ~

When he takes the throne of his kingdom,
he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law,
taken from that of the priests, who are Levites.
It is to be with him,
and he is to read it all the days of his life
so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God
and follow carefully
all the words of this law and these decrees
and not consider himself better than his brothers
and turn from the law to the right or to the left.
Then he and his descendants
will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.

(Deuteronomy 17:18-20)
