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

Deuteronomy 17:14-Proverbs : . 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).

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 17:20

That his heart be not lifted up; he intimates, that 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 of all his administrations and actions, and receive from him his sentence and doom agreeable to their quality, which is sufficient to abate the pride of the haughtiest person in the world, if he duly consider it. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 17:1-20

As you've discovered by now the book of Deuteronomy is sort of a review of the law. The word itself indicates the second law. It is a review by Moses for the people. Really a final review because Moses will be dying in just a few days and Joshua will be taking over and leading the children of Israel into the Promised Land. So he is continuing his instructions, his final instructions to them.And in the 17th chapter, again, at the beginning he lets them know that what they give to God should... read more
