Deuteronomy 17:17-20 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

17. Nor should he multiply wives for himself, so that his heart does not turn aside, nor multiply much silver and gold for himself.

18. “Now when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself a copy of this Torah on a scroll, from what is before the Levitical kohanim.

19. It will remain with him, and he will read in it all the days of his life, in order to learn to fear Adonai his God and keep all the words of this Torah and these statutes.

20. Then his heart will not be exalted above his brothers, and he will not turn from the commandment to the right or to the left—so that he may prolong his days in his kingship, he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.
