DEUTERONOMY 17:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the Lord thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.”
You may indeed set over you a king whom the LORD your God will choose; one of your own community you shall set as king over you — the critical insertion whom the LORD your God will choose subordinates the monarchy to divine election; the king is not autonomous but covenantally appointed and accountable to God's will.
