Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Sanhedrin Perek 2 Mishnah 4
סנהדרין פרק ב׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
למלחמת הרשות – The wars of the rest of the nations, except for the war vs. Amalek and the War of the seven [Canaanite] nations.
ופורץ – the fence of others
לעשות לו דרך – to go to his vineyard and to his field
אין ממחין בידו – we don’t prevent him
חלק בראש – he chooses the best portion first and takes one half of all the spoil.
אלא שמונה עשרה – for David had had six wives as the prophet [Nathan] said to him (2 Samuel 12:8): “[I gave you your master’s house and possession of your master’s wives; and I gave you the House of Israel and Judah] and if that were not enough, I would give you twice as much more.” The first mention of כהנה – is six and the latter [mention of] כהנה – is [another] six, that makes eighteen [wives].
מרבה הוא לו – More than eighteen. And there three disputations in this matter. The first Tanna/teacher holds that he marries eighteen, and even if they are loose in moral conduct, but more than eighteen he should not marry even if they are valid, for that is the decree of the Biblical verse. Rabbi Yehuda holds that he marries eighteen and even if they are loose in moral conduct, but more than eighteen who are loose in moral conduct, he should not marry, but if they are valid and worthy, he may marry as many as he wishes. And he disagrees with the first Tanna in one matter. Rabbi Shimon states that even one [wife] who is loose in moral conduct, he should not marry, but valid and worthy [wives], he cannot marry more than eighteen. And he disagrees with the first Tanna in one matter and with Rabbi Yehuda in two matters. And the Halakha is according to the first Tanna.
אלא כדי מרכבתו – and specifically idle horses to give him comfort and to increase the mass of horses, is prohibited. But, in order that his chariots and horsemen can fight his enemies, it is permitted.
אספניא – the salary of the soldiers who come in and go out with him throughout the year.
וכותב לו ס"ת לשמו – besides the Torah scroll that every Jewish person is required to have with him, and it is placed in his storehouse. And the Torah scroll that he writes for himself when he is King always enters and goes out with him.
מיסב – on the table
למלחמת הרשות. מלחמת שאר אומות חוץ ממלחמת עמלק ומלחמת שבעה עממין:
ופורץ. גדר של אחרים:
לעשות לו דרך. ללכת לכרמו ולשדהו:
ואין ממחין בידו. אין מעכבין עליו:
חלק בראש. חלק היפה בורר ראשון. ונוטל מחצה מכל הבזה:
אלא שמונה עשרה. שהרי דוד היו לו שש נשים וקאמר ליה נביא ואם מעט ואוסיפה לך כהנה וכהנה, כהנה קמא שית, בתרא שית, הרי שמונה עשר:
מרבה הוא לו. יותר מי״ח. ושלש מחלוקות יש בדבר. ת״ק סבר נושא י״ח ואפילו פרוצות, ויותר מי״ח לא ישא ואפילו כשרות, שכך הוא גזירת הכתוב. ר׳ יהודה סבר נושא י״ח ואפילו פרוצות, ויותר מי״ח פרוצות לא ישא, וכשרות והגונות ישא כמו שירצה. ופליג אתנא קמא בחדא. ר׳ שמעון סבר אפילו אחת פרוצה לא ישא, וכשרות והגונות לא ישא יותר משמונה עשרה. ופליג אתנא קמא בחדא ואדרבי יהודה בתרתי. והלכה כת״ק:
אלא כדי מרכבתו. דוקא סוסים בטלים להרחיב דעתו ולהתגדל ברוב סוסים [אסור]. אבל כדי רכבו ופרשיו להלחם באויביו מותר:
אספניא. שכר חיילות הנכנסים ויוצאים עמו כל השנה:
וכותב לו ס״ת לשמו. חוץ מס״ת שחייב כל אדם מישראל להיות לו ספר תורה, והוא מונח בבית גנזיו. וספר תורה שכותב לשמו כשהוא מלך נכנס ויוצא עמו תמיד:
מיסב. על השלחן:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.
