Deuteronomy 17:14-20

Throughout history, kings have wielded absolute power, but God’s design for Israel’s monarchy was radically different. Dr. John examines Deuteronomy 17:14-20 and God’s requirements for Israel’s kings – they must be chosen by God and not acquire many horses or wives. Most importantly, kings must write out and study God’s law daily to remain under God’s authority rather than ruling however they please, with Solomon’s failures serving as a warning.
