Sheiyni

  1. Mitzvos relating to a king:
  • When you arrive onto the promised land, you are to appoint a king over you like all the other nations. You are to appoint a king from whom Hashem has chosen. One may not appoint a non-Jew, or Ger, as a king.
  • Horses: The king may not have too many horses, so he does not return the nation to Egypt.
  • Wives: The king may not have too many wives so that his heart not go astray.
  • Wealth: The king may not have too much gold and silver.
  • Sefer Torah: When the king sits on his throne he is to write two copies of his own personal Sefer Torah. It is to be with him, and he is to read from it for his entire life in order so that he follows the commands. In order so his heart does not become haughty and so he may merit his children to reign under him.
