[Music] when you enter the land you conquer the land you settle in the land and now you say i want to appoint a king like the that surround me go ahead you're allowed to appoint a king but only a person that god will choose either through a prophet or through the urim and the king has to be someone who's born as a jew also the king has certain laws he's not allowed to have too many horses because inevitably that will direct the jewish people back to egypt in order to acquire more horses and i told you don't go back to egypt and he cannot have too many wives because they will sway his heart away from god and towards idol worship and he cannot have too much silver or too much gold also he has a commandment to have two to write two copies of a set of one for storage and one on him wherever he goes and he should read it all his days and by having that extra torah with him wherever he goes and learning it that will prevent him from having an exalted heart and from swaying from the torah and in that his kingdom and the kingdom of his children will be lengthened now we know that king solomon reasoned if the torah is telling us why a king can have i could have many wives and they won't sway my heart i could have many horses and i won't let the people go out back to egypt i could have abundant gold and silver and we know that at the end of his life his wives did sway his heart and he allowed them and he wasn't when they worshiped idols and we know that because he had abundant horses they did end up directing jews back to egypt it backfired on him and at the end of his life realized his mistake and rapin hash friedman explains that's why mohammed wrote the books of mishlai the books of kohelet in the book of shiitake in mishlai king solomon writes hashema you have a horse you think that's what's going to make you win the battle the battle comes from we can't go and have more than horses than necessary in in kohelet realized his mistake in acquiring abundant gold and silver he writes in cohere i acquired a lot of gold and silver and then he says if you pursue him later as a waste of time and in shira shireen he writes about how we are married to borehole in order to be happy for being oberon [Music] you
