I don't know. I'm going to go off on a tangent instead:

I just think it's interesting that halkhah sets up a multibranch
government -- Melekh, Sanhedrin, kehunah (maybe the Navi is his own
branch, maybe it is part of the Melukhah) and launching a war requires
the support of all of them.

Tir'u baTov!
