申命記 17:18-19 RCUVTS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 17:1-20

True Worship Deuteronomy 17:0 This makes our relation to God very definite. There is to be no intermediate worship. Closeness almost visible closeness is to be the rule and standard of our communion with God. Nothing must stand between. We are permitted to come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. There must be no intervening system of priests, or officers of any kind, or angels of any degree: every soul must have right of way to God,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 17:18-20

Observe, it was not enough to have it written for him, he must do it with his own hand: and the highest honour be could arrive at, was the sacred employment here enjoined him. But this was not all. Writing it was not enough, he was to meditate therein. Reader! in how many families is the word of GOD a reproach, when the Bible is made to rest upon their shelves unused from day to day. Will not GOD'S word be a swift witness against such in the day of judgment? Blessed JESUS! may thy word dwell in... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 17:18

Of this law, perhaps from the 14th verse to the end of the chapter (Haydock) or the whole Book of Deuteronomy, which contains an abridgment of the law, (Josue viii. 32.; Menochius) or even the five books, which were formerly written without any division, and went under the name of the law. (Grotius; &c.) --- Hebrew seems favourable to this last opinion, (Calmet) "he shall write a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is kept by the priests," unless Moses might only require that he... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 17:19

Law. Pious Christian emperors and kings have esteemed it their greatest glory and happiness to read and meditate on the holy commandments of God, in order to regulate their conduct, amid the various dangerous occupations of their station. (Haydock) --- Constantine the Great, Charlemagne, St. Stephen of Hungary, Alphonsus I of Spain, were noted for the zeal which they shewed in the particular. Alphonsus of Arragon, had read the Bible, with the Commentaries, 14 times over, and the great Alfred... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 17:14-20

14-20 God himself was in a particular manner Israel's King; and if they set another over them, it was necessary that he should choose the person. Accordingly, when the people desired a king, they applied to Samuel, a prophet of the Lord. In all cases, God's choice, if we can but know it, should direct, determine, and overrule ours. Laws are given for the prince that should be elected. He must carefully avoid every thing that would turn him from God and religion. Riches, honours, and pleasures,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 17:14-20

Of the office of an Eventual King v. 14. When thou art come unto the land which the Lord, thy God, giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me, a thing which actually came to pass afterward, 1 Samuel 8:5, v. 15. thou shalt in any wise, by all means, set him king over thee whom the Lord, thy God, shall choose, 1 Samuel 9:15; one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 17:1-20

Continuing the discourse commenced in the previous chapter, we find insistence on the fact that no false sacrifices must be offered and no false worshipers permitted to approach. For dealing with such, a method was minutely laid down. First there must be careful inquiry and for condemnation there must be three, or at the least two, witnesses. Where cases of peculiar difficulty arose they must be remitted to the priests and to the supreme judge, that is, to the religious and civil court. Then... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 17:14-20

Requirements For Any Future King (Deuteronomy 17:14-20 ). Having been speaking of ‘the Judge’ who would have authority over Israel took, and being very much aware of the people’s weaknesses and willingness to follow anyone who offered them what they wanted (to look after them and fight their battles for them) Moses’ thoughts turned back to the promises of Genesis. There God had said that one day kings would be established who would be descended from Abraham (Genesis 17:6; Genesis 17:16;... read more

Law about the King that is to be.— This deals exclusively with the theocratic aspect peculiar to D: the picture of the ideal king here drawn was probably suggested by way of contrast to the reigning king (Hezekiah or Manasseh; cf. 1 Samuel 8:5, where D’ s antipathy to the monarchy inspired by what he saw is reflected).
