God designed a way to keep leaders humble… “he must read it [the Torah] as long as he lives, … then he will not exalt himself above his fellow citizens.” A Hebrew king’s first royal duty was to transcribe the entire law of Moses on a his own scroll. Every good leader knows how to delegate but this was one job the king had to do for himself and by himself.
“When he sits down on the throne of his kingdom, the first thing he must do is make himself a copy of this Revelation on a scroll,” (Deuteronomy 17.18).
