The king was never to think himself better than his brothers. We bring this principle forward to New testament elders who should be servants and not lord it over others. Jesus Himself washed the feet of His Apostles. The king was also to WRITE a part of the Bible everyday. To lead, we all must be in God's word everyday.
Deuteronomy 19:16-21 gives a tremendous insight into the mind of God. If someone gives false testimony about a crime in an effort to falsely accuse another, then that person will get the penalty for that crime. This is a big deterrant to perjury. More importantly, God is telling us about how much He values justice and truth.
