Deuteronômio 17

Poole - “The Scriptures, diligently read and studied, are a powerful and probable means to keep him humble, because they show him that, though a king, he is subject to a higher Monarch, to whom he must give an account … sufficient to abate the pride of the haughtiest person in the world, if he duly consider it.” So that - Purpose clause. Moses gives this promise to the king who reads the law, learns to fear the LORD, seeks diligently to observe the Law and does turn to the right or left. He and his sons may continue long in his kingdom in the midst of Israel - Solomon himself wrote that "The fear of the LORD prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be shortened. (Pr 10:27)
