Halakhah к Шофтим 3:20
וְאֵה֣וּד ׀ בָּ֣א אֵלָ֗יו וְהֽוּא־יֹ֠שֵׁב בַּעֲלִיַּ֨ת הַמְּקֵרָ֤ה אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ֙ לְבַדּ֔וֹ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵה֔וּד דְּבַר־אֱלֹהִ֥ים לִ֖י אֵלֶ֑יךָ וַיָּ֖קָם מֵעַ֥ל הַכִּסֵּֽא׃
И пришел Ехуд к нему; и он сидел один в своей прохладной верхней комнате. И сказал Эхуд:'У меня есть послание от Бога к тебе.' И он встал со своего места.
Kitzur Shulchan Arukh
Some authorities maintain that you are not required to stand during Kaddish. But, if you are already standing when Kaddish is to be said for instance, after Halleil,15And one is required to stand during Halleil. you should remain standing until after: Amein, yehei shemei rabba. Others hold the opinion that you should always stand during Kaddish as well as during other prayers of Kedushah.16E.g., Barechu or Kedushah of Shemoneh Esrei. This can be derived by means of a kal v'chomer17Kal vachomer—if a strict rule applies to a lenient law, then it certainly applies to a stringent law. The converse is also true—if a lenient rule applies to a strict law, then it certainly applies to a lenient law. from the case of Eglon, king of Moab, for it is written:18Judges 3:20. "Ehud came to him etc. and Ehud said: 'I have brought you a word of God. ' And he (Eglon) stood up from his throne."19Thus, we see that Eglon rose to hear the word of God. If Eglon King of Moab, who was an idol worshipper, rose [to hear] the word of God, how much more so, [should] we, who are His people. Therefore, it is preferable to be stringent.
