Deuteronomy 17

what I remember:
The death penalty by soning was ordered for those found guilty of worshiping other Gods.  The first stones were to be thrown by the accusers.  Also it foretold the days when Israel would choose a king, and instructed the king to study God's word and not pursue wealth or many wives.  The king had to re-copy the entire law.

key verse:
Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from before the priests, the Levites.

about God:  
Well, He knows what will happen - because it did just as He said.  He also knows the dangers of other gods - in particular wives and riches - would bring.
