Pagkatapos ay pumasok si Haring David at naupo sa harap ng Walang-Hanggan, at sinabi niya: “Sino ako, O Walang-Hanggang Diyos, at ano ang aking sambahayan, upang ako'y dalhin Mo hanggang dito?
Mishneh Torah, Kings and Wars
Should one of the king’s relatives die, the king must not pass the threshold of his palace11Or, chambers.. When he is being comforted12With the mourner’s meal., the entire nation sits on the ground and he sits on an ottoman13Or, footstool.. If he was a descendent of David, he may sit in the Courtyard (Azaroh) of the Temple since only kings from the House of David may sit in the Temple Courtyard, as it says, “And King David came, and he sat before G-d” (II Samuel 7:18, I Chronicles 17:16).
