kuweni 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.
Deuteronomy 17:15 in English

you are to appoint over yourselves the king whom the LORD your God shall choose. Appoint a king from among your brothers; you are not to set over yourselves a foreigner who is not one of your brothers.
Context
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.” 17Kamwe asioe wake wengi, la sivyo moyo wake utapotoka. Kamwe asijilimbikizie kiasi kikubwa cha fedha na dhahabu.
