Pesikta DeRav Kahana
"And the chieftains of Israel -- they are the chieftains of the tribes -- brought near [their offerings]" (Num. 7:2): This was in Egypt. "And they are those who are presiding over the counting" (ibid.): This was over the [tribal] banners (i.e., in the desert).
"And they brought their offerings before Hashem: Six covered wagons, etc." (Num. 7:3): Corresponding to the six days of Creation. Six corresponding to six orders of the Mishnah. Six corresponding to the six Matriarchs. And who are they? Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah, Bilhah, [and] Zilpah.
Said Rabbi Yochanan: Six corresponding to [the six] commandments that were commanded to the king. And which are they? "He shall not multiply wives for himself" (Deut. 17:17); "And he shall not multiply horses for himself" (Deut. 17:16); "And silver and gold he shall not multiply for himself" (Deut. 17:17); "He shall not pervert judgment, nor show favoritism, nor take a bribe" (Deut. 17:19). Six corresponding to the "six steps [that led up] to the throne" (1 Kings 10:19). How so? He ascended to sit, and upon [reaching] the first step, the crier goes out and says, "He shall not multiply wives for himself." He ascended to sit, and upon [reaching] the second step, the crier goes out and says, "He shall not multiple horses for himself." He ascended to sit, and upon [reaching] the third step, the crier goes out and says, "And gold and silver he shall not multiply for himself greatly." He ascended to sit, and upon [reaching] the fourth step, the crier goes out and says, "He shall not pervert judgment." He ascended to sit, and upon [reaching] the fifth step, the crier goes out and says, "Nor show favoritism." He ascended to sit, and upon [reaching] the sixth step, the crier goes out and says, "Nor take a bribe." He comes to sit, and upon [reaching] the seventh step, he says to him, "Know before whom you are sitting" (cf. Avot 3:1). "... And the throne had a back with a rounded top" (1 Kings 10:19). Said Rabbi Acha, like that soft-backed chair of Moses. "... And the throne had armrests on this side and that side of the seat" (ibid.). How so? There was a golden scepter behind it, and a dove on its head, and a golden crown in the dove's mouth, and he would sit under it in the seat [of throne], and it would touch yet not touch.
Six [covered wagons] corresponding to six firmaments. But are they not seven? Said Rabbi Avin, where the king resides (i.e., in the seventh heaven), there is the crown property.

Sifra
1) (Vayikra 4:22): "If (asher) a leader (nassi) sin ["asher," similar to "ashrei" ("fortunate")]: R. Yochanan b. Zakkai said: Fortunate is the generation whose nassi brings a sin-offering for his unwitting sin. If he brings a sin-offering for his unwitting sin, how much more so (is he contrite over) his deliberate sin. And if his nassi brings a sin-offering, how much more so is he (the common man) moved to bring a sin-offering (for his sin)! "a nassi": I might think the nassi of a tribe, like Nachshon; it is, therefore, written: "And he do one of all the mitzvoth of the L–rd his G d," and, elsewhere, (in respect to a king) (Devarim 17:19): "so that he may learn to fear the L–rd his G d." Just as there, the nassi is one who has no one above him but the L–rd his G d, so, here. (Scripture speaks of) a nassi who has no one over him but the L–rd his G d (i.e., a king).
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
MISHNAH: The king must write the Holy Scrolls for himself; when he goes to war he must bear them with him; when he enters the city they must be with him; and the same when he sits judging the people; and when he takes his meals they must be placed opposite him, as it is said (Deut. 17, 19) And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life.
