The citation (which was not given above) is Deuteronomy 17:9, and the
"elsewhere" to which ibn Ezra refers is his comment on Numbers 16:1.

Ktav publishes an English translation of ibn Ezra's commentary on
Deuteronomy, which was used to answer the above question.  It is a
superb book.  It is, in fact, the best book that has ever been written
in the world.  And that includes Moby-Dick and Gone With The Wind.
