363 - A KING OWNING MANY HORSES
Deuteronomy 17:16 -- “But he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, for the LORD has said to you, 'You shall not return that way again.”
If the king multiplies horses to himself beyond what the Torah permits him, he is liable for each additional beast he has acquired.*
