Intro. Flashcards
Shalsheles Hamisora
Moshe - Yehoshua, Shoftim - B”N had so many Shoftim everything was so choppy, and they didn’t know what was going on. they wanted one king, they asked Shaul for a king
why were Shmuel and Hashem upset about B”N request?
1) they said - שימה לנו-for us, it sounded like they were in charge, they should have said שימה עלינו
2) ????????????????????????????????????
if Hashem was so upset at B”N asking for a king, then why does it say in the Torah that B”N should appoint a king?
because then it was the right time, now they didn’t need one (but if thats where they wanted to go, Hashem will give them one
a king of B”N is someone who has control over himself, like Yehuda, with M’o’ose Tamar, he admitted he did it, even though he wasnt suspected. and like Yosef, by Ashes Potefar, he didnt do whatever Ashes Potefar was trying to get him to do

rules for a king
not too many horses, dont return nation nation to Metzrayim, not too many wives, heart dont desire too much gold and silver
if a king follows the rules…
his children will rule after…
what could help ensure that a king doesnt turn away from the Torah?
he should prepare himself on the thrown, and give honor to ppl and ppl sand up for him, and he stand up for ppl who learn Torah
on the one hand a king has to balance himself and his honor, and on the other, he needs to balance Hashem and His Torah
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn////////////////////aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
since the king is always shifting roles - for himself and B”N, Hashem sent a tool…
the Navi - if the king is shifting off the path, the Navi will show up and redirect him
dif. between Malchus Yehuda and Malchus Yisroel
Ye- son after son, Yerushalayim Avodah Zara in the end, yes king sit in the Azara, yes annointing
Yi- not son after son, Shomchan, Avoda Zara in the begining, no king sitting inthe Azara, no annointing
