Context
12Mwanaume atakayeonyesha dharau kwa mwamuzi au kwa kuhani ambaye amewekwa kumtumikia Bwana Mungu wenu lazima auawe. Lazima mwondoe uovu katika Israeli. 13Watu wote watasikia na kuogopa, nao hawatakuwa wenye kudharau tena. 14Wakati utakapoingia katika nchi anayowapa Bwana Mungu wenu kuimiliki na kukaa humo, nanyi mkasema, “Na tumweke mfalme juu yetu kama mataifa yanayotuzunguka,” 15kuweni na uhakika wa kumweka mfalme juu yenu ambaye Bwana Mungu wenu atamchagua. Ni lazima atoke miongoni mwa ndugu zenu wenyewe. Msimweke mgeni juu yenu ambaye si ndugu wa Kiisraeli. 16Hata hivyo, kamwe mfalme asijipatie hesabu kubwa ya farasi kwa ajili yake mwenyewe, au kuwafanya watu warudi Misri ili kupata farasi zaidi, kwa maana Bwana amekuambia, “Hamtairudia njia ile tena.”
