Deuturonomy 17:15

then you shall be sure to set a king over you whom the Lord your God (Yahweh Elohim) chooses.
You shall set a king over you from among your own brothers. You shall not set a stranger over you, one who is not your brother. [This points prophetically to Jesus, the Messiah, who will be a king after the line of David, see Matt. 1:6; Luke 3:31. He is thus a brother.]
