The Hebrew Root M-L-Kh Means Adviser
or Counselor, not King
For thirty-one years I am in Israel
and did not know until this Shabbat that the Hebrew word Melekh, which is
usually translated 'king' has another, more original, meaning: Counselor or
Adviser.
The meaning of the word that is
usually translated as 'king' in Torah, does not mean ruler, but rather Adviser
or Counselor.
Interestingly, the same radical m-l-kh means both to advise and to be advised
by.
This, correct, use of the radical M-L-Kh
was common in the original Zionist literature, but was silenced when the State
was established.
Now, the name David, as is commonly
known, means beloved.
In Hebrew Gematria, it also equals
'the one who loves'.
So King David in Hebrew means: Loving
Adviser and Beloved Advisor.
The name Shlomo (Solomon) comes from
the radical sh-l-m which means: Perfection.
King Shlomo, then, is Perfect
Counselor or Perfect Adviser.
So, now we know the true understanding
of everything that is written in Torah about what we thought are, but are
actually all those who Advise and Counsel us in Love.
