Lexham English Bible
18 “And then[a] when he is sitting[b] on the throne of his kingdom, then he shall write for himself a copy of this law on a scroll before[c] the Levitical priests. 19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read it[d] all the days of his life, so that he may learn to revere Yahweh your God by diligently observing[e] all the word of this law and these rules, 20 so as not to exalt his heart above his countrymen[f] and not to turn aside from the commandment to the right or to the left, so that he may reign long over his kingdom,[g] he and his children in the midst of Israel.”
