(Mishnah): How is Parshas ha'Melech? On Motza'ei Yom Tov Rishon of Sukos, in the eighth year, after Shemitah, in Motza'ei Shevi'is, they make a podium of wood in the Azarah, and he sits on it - "mi'Ketz Sheva Shanim b'Mo'ed Shenas ha'Shemitah b'Chag ha'Sukos b'Vo Kol Yisrael Lir'os..."

The overseer of the Beis ha'Keneses takes the Sefer Torah and gives it to the head of the Beis ha'Keneses. Rosh ha'Keneses gives it to the Segan, and the Segan gives it to the Kohen Gadol, and the Kohen Gadol gives it to the king.

The king stands up and receives the Torah and reads sitting. King Agripas read standing, and Chachamim praised him for this.

When he reached "you may not put a foreigner (to be king) upon yourselves", tears flowed from his eyes.

Chachamim: Don't fear, Agripas. You are our brother! You are our brother!

(Gemara) Question: Didn't R. Chiyah teach, the only ones permitted to sit in the Azarah are kings of Beis David?

And R. Ami said in the name of Reish Lakish, even for Malchei Beis David, there was no Heter to sit in the Azarah!

Answer: The case is, he leaned on the wall [and stood; the verse calls this "va'Yeshev Lo."

Question: It says "va'Yavo ha'Melech David va'Yeshev Lifnei Hash-m"!

Answer (R. Aibo bar Nagrai): (He did not sit.) He settled (Yishev) himself in Tefilah.

Question (Mishnah): The first group [to offer Korban Pesach, on Shabbos] left and sat in Har ha'Bayis; the second [left and sat] in the Cheil, and the third in its place (in the Azarah).

Answer (Rav Nachman citing R. Mana): What does the Mishnah mean 'Yashvah' in its place? It stood in its place.

(Beraisa - R. Chanina ben Gamliel): Many corpses fell on the day that they flattered [Agripas, and said 'you are our brother!' (He was a slave, who may not be king.)

(Mishnah): He reads from the beginning of Sefer Devarim until [and including] Shema Yisrael, and also Parshiyos "v'Hayah Im Shamo'a", "Aser Ta'aser", "Ki Sechaleh La'aser"; and the Berachos and curses (on Har Gerizim and Har Eival), until he finished all of them).

The Berachos that the Kohen Gadol blesses, the king blesses, but he puts [a Berachah] of the festivals in place of [the Berachah for] forgiveness of sin.

(Gemara - R. Avahu): Why does he read "Aser Ta'aser" and "Ki Sechaleh La'aser"?

Answer: Because Yisrael went out from Shevi'is (during which there were no Ma'aseros) to Sheminis, [he reads them] lest they forget Ma'aseros.

Question (R. Chagai, in front of R. Yosi): Does he not need to make Havdalah [between Shemitah, in which it was forbidden to work the land, and Sheminis, in which it is permitted]?

Answer (R. Yosi): He already made Havdalah from Rosh Hashanah. (GILYONEI HA'SHAS - Rosh Hashanah is more Kadosh than Shemitah (all Meleches Avodah is forbidden), so we cannot say Havdalah then. In any case we say Havdalah on Motza'ei Rosh Hashanah, and this includes Havdalah between Shemitah and other years.)
