14 When you come to the land the LORD your God is giving you and take it over and live in it and then say, |I will select a king like all the nations surrounding me,| 15 you must select without fail a king whom the LORD your God chooses. From among your fellow citizens you must appoint a king--you may not designate a foreigner who is not one of your fellow Israelites. Deuteronomy 17:14-15, New English Translation.
