Six Wagons, Six Matriarchs, and Solomon's Throne of Seven Steps

[7] "And the princes of Israel offered, they were the heads of the tribes" (Numbers 7:2) -- in Egypt. "And they were over those who were counted" (ibid.) -- over the banners. "And they brought their offering before the LORD, six wagons, and the rest" (ibid., verse 3) -- corresponding to the six days of creation. Six corresponding to the six orders of the Mishnah. Six corresponding to the six matriarchs, and these are they: Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah, Bilhah, Zilpah. Rabbi Yohanan said: six corresponding to the six commandments that the king is commanded concerning, and these are they: "He shall not multiply wives to himself" (Deuteronomy 17:17), "and he shall not multiply horses to himself" (ibid., verse 16), "and silver and gold he shall not greatly multiply to himself" (ibid., verse 17), "You shall not pervert justice, and you shall not show favor, and you shall not take a bribe" (Deuteronomy 16:19). Six corresponding to the six steps that the throne had. How so? When he went up to sit on the first step, the herald goes out and says, "He shall not multiply wives to himself." When he went up to sit on the second step, the herald goes out and says, "He shall not multiply horses to himself." When he went up to sit on the third step, the herald goes out and says, "And silver and gold he shall not greatly multiply to himself." When he went up to sit on the fourth step, the herald goes out and says, "You shall not pervert justice." When he went up to sit on the fifth step, the herald goes out and says, "You shall not show favor." When he went up to sit on the sixth step, the herald goes out and says, "You shall not take a bribe." When he came to sit on the seventh step, they say to him, "Know before whom you are sitting." "And the top of the throne was round behind it" (1 Kings 10:19) -- Rabbi Aha said: like the chair of Moses. "And there were arms on either side by the place of the seat" (ibid.) -- how so? A scepter of gold was suspended for him behind it, and a dove was at its top, and a crown of gold was in the mouth of the dove, and he would sit beneath it on the Sabbath, and it touched and did not touch. Six corresponding to the six firmaments. But are they not seven? Rabbi Abin said: the one in which the King dwells is the precious palace.
