Then his heart will not be exalted above his countrymen, and he will not turn aside from the commandment, to the right or to the left, in order that he and his sons may reign many years over his kingdom in Israel.
Deuteronomy 17:20, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Moses continues describing the future king of Israel, picking up from verse 19, where the king must keep a copy of God's instruction and read it all his life. The outcome is humility: his heart will not be lifted above his fellow Israelites, and he will not turn aside from the commandment to the right or the left.
