Deuteronomy 17:18 (KJV)
Commentary on Deuteronomy 17:18
God commands the future king: 'And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites.' The king must personally copy the Torah—not merely possess a copy but write it himself. This labor-intensive process ensures intimate familiarity with God's law. The king isn't above the law but under it, accountable to divine standards. The purpose (verse 19) is that he 'may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them.'
