Quote:Genesis 17:15 G-d said to Abraham, 'Sarai your wife - do not call her by the name Sarai, for Sarah is her name. 17:16 I will bless her, and make her bear you a son. I will bless her so that she will be [the mother] of entire nations - kings will be her descendants.' .
Quote:35:10 G-d said to him, 'Your name is Jacob. But your name will not be only Jacob; you will also have Israel as a name.' [God thus] named him Israel. 35:11 G-d said to him, 'I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and increase. A nation and a community of nations will come into existence from you. Kings will be born from your loins
Quote:17:14 When you come to the land that G-d your L-rd is giving you, so that you have occupied it and settled it, you will eventually say, 'We would like to appoint a king, just like all the nations around us.' 17:15 You must then appoint the king whom God your Lord shall choose. You must appoint a king from among your brethren; . . .17:18 When [the king] is established on his royal throne, he must write a copy of this Torah as a scroll edited by the Levitical priests. 17:19 [This scroll] must always be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life. He will then learn to be in awe of God his Lord, and carefully keep every word of this Torah and these rules. 17:20 He will then [also] not begin to feel superior to his brethren, and he will not stray from the mandate to the right or the left. He and his descendants will thus have a long reign in the midst of Israel.
