Talmud su I Re 5:35

What means “he shall alterate”? He shall change. If he is used to eat a pound³⁷⁹A Roman pound of 12 unciae, 345g. of meat he shall eat half; if he is used to drink a sextarius³⁸⁰Possibly Greek ξέστης; in both Talmudim the equivalent of a log (.53 l) but in the Galilean Targumim the equivalent of a hin, 12 log (6.5 l). Babli 30a. of wine he shall drink half. Rebbi Joḥanan said, but only for the main meal of the Ninth of Av. Rav³⁸¹In G: Rebbi. In the Babli, Rav Jehudah. Hoshaia said, and only in the afternoon. Rebbi Yose says, both statements are for leniency. If he ate the main meal of the Ninth of Av before noon, even if he brings on his table like Salomon’s meal it is permitted. If he ate his meal³⁸²Intending to eat another later in the afternoon. in the afternoon, even if he brings on his table like Salomon’s meal in his time³⁸³1K. 5:2–3. it is permitted. It was stated: If the Ninth of Av fell on a Friday or the day before the Ninth of Av on a Sabbath, even if he brings on his table like Salomon’s meal in his time it is permitted³⁸⁴Babli 29b.. Rav after he had eaten his fill was coloring his piece of bread with ashes and said, this is the main meal of the Ninth of Av, to keep what is said³⁸⁵Thr. 3:16. Mentioned in Thr. rabba ad loc., He filled me with asperity, made me imbue poison.

He shall not add horses, and it is written: Solomon had 40’000 horse stables for his chariot, and 12’000 riders¹⁸⁷1K. 5.6.. They were idle¹⁸⁸If all of the chariots and horses had been for military purposes, it would not have been sinful. A Genizah fragment inserts a rhetorical question. Were the 40’000 stables not adequate since it also is written (1K. 4:20) that Israel were many, like the sand at the seashore? The answer is that the horses and carriages were sinful since the riders were idle most of the time.. A private person is permitted all of these¹⁸⁹Wives, horses, and money are limited only for a king..

“Students can go to study Torah for thirty days without their wives’¹⁷⁵Addition to the Mishnah text. permission.” Therefore, with permission even longer¹⁷⁶The Babli agrees, 61b/62a.. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: “He sent them to the Libanon, ten thousand per month.¹⁷⁷1K. 5:28.” Rebbi Abin said, the Holy One, praise to Him, preferred being fruitful and multiplying over the Temple. What is the reason? “One month they would be in Libanon, two months each in his house.”¹⁷⁸The Babli, 62a, is explicit that R. Joḥanan requires a student who leaves his house for study to make up for it and spend double the time with his wife. Rav said, “the one entering and the one leaving, month for month for all months of the year.¹⁷⁹1Chr. 27:1, speaking of all watches in the service of the king. The interpretation is that each watch served for six months each year, one month at a time. Rav will require a student to spend only one month with his wife for every month away. In the Babli, R. Joḥanan rejects this argument since the king’s servants were well paid and absences for money-making purposes follow different rules.”
