Halakhah do Powtórzonego Prawa 17:18
וְהָיָ֣ה כְשִׁבְתּ֔וֹ עַ֖ל כִּסֵּ֣א מַמְלַכְתּ֑וֹ וְכָ֨תַב ל֜וֹ אֶת־מִשְׁנֵ֨ה הַתּוֹרָ֤ה הַזֹּאת֙ עַל־סֵ֔פֶר מִלִּפְנֵ֥י הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
A gdy zasiędzie na tronie królestwa swojego, niechaj odpisze sobie odpis zakonu tego do księgi, - od tego, który przed obliczem kapłanów, Lewitów.
Sefer HaChinukh
That the king write a second Torah scroll for himself: That it is a commandment on the king that will be over Israel to write for himself a specific scroll of the Torah, from the angle of [his being king], that it be with him always and [from] which he read - besides the other Torah scroll which is a commandment for him, like every one of Israel, to write, as we will write in the last commandment of the book, with God's help (Sefer HaChinukh 613). And about this is it stated (Deuteronomy 17:18), "and he shall write for himself a copy of this Torah, etc."
