16. Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses; for the Lord has said unto you, Ye shall not procure to return any more to that way.
17. Neither shall he multiply wives unto himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver or gold.
18. And it shall be when he sits upon the throne of his kingdom that he shall cause a copy of this second law to be written in a book in the presence of the priests the Levites;
19. and it shall be near unto him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them,
20. that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand or to the left, to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.
