9And come before the priests, the Levites, or before him who is judge at the time: and they will go into the question and give you a decision:
10And you are to be guided by the decision they give in the place named by the Lord, and do whatever they say:
11Acting in agreement with their teaching and the decision they give: not turning to one side or the other from the word they have given you.
12And any man who, in his pride, will not give ear to the priest whose place is there before the Lord your God, or to the judge, is to be put to death: you are to put away the evil from Israel.
13And all the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear and put away their pride.
14When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it for a heritage and are living in it, if it is your desire to have a king over you, like the other nations round about you;
15Then see that you take as your king the man named by the Lord your God: let your king be one of your countrymen, not a man of another nation who is not one of yourselves.
