DEUTERONOMY 17:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein 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:”
It shall remain with him and he shall read in it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, by diligently observing all the words of this law and these statutes — the king's daily Torah reading transforms governance into a spiritual discipline, where covenantal obedience becomes the monarch's primary work, fundamentally different from Near Eastern kingship ideology.
