Among other things: The king is charged with maintaining justice. He personally is supposed to adjudicate certain difficult cases (see Jeremiah 21:12) and keep the nation on a high moral level.

He is expected to uproot any instances of idols, idolatry or forbidden practices in the land (see for example 1 Samuel 28:9).

He is permitted to fight wars after consulting the Sages.
