Positive Mitzvah 17

A Jewish king's royal treasury contains countless blocks of gold, beautifully embroidered bags filled with silver coins, diamonds, jewels and many glittering stones. These precious stones are locked away in vaults and the fortune is guarded by soldiers.

But there is one precious item that the king will not entrust to anyone else. He refers to it constantly and always carries it with him.

This is his own personal Torah Scroll.

HaShem commands a Jewish King to write a Torah Scroll for himself and to carry it with him always. Thus, the Torah will guide him in ruling the Jewish people and creating a proper kingdom.
