Commentary on Deuteronomy 17:14
Moses prophetically addresses Israel's future desire for a king: 'When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me.' God anticipates Israel's request (fulfilled in 1 Samuel 8) and provides regulations for kingship. The phrase 'like all the nations' reveals the fundamental problem—Israel wants to conform rather than remain distinct. God permits monarchy but regulates it to prevent tyranny and ensure the king remains under divine law.
