The eighth king does not die; he gathers the seven.

To revive the dead kings, their lights rose as 'feminine waters' (mayin nukvin). The AB within Adam Kadmon's mind joined the unbroken te'amim of SaG, and a new light was born: the name MaH (45), shining from the forehead. It is the last and gentlest emanation: neither breath nor gaze, only illumination. It sifts from the broken points whatever it can and takes them as its female, now called BaN. This is Hadar, the eighth king, of whom Torah never says 'he died', and the first named with a wife, Meheitavel. The repaired figures now clothe one another so creatures can receive their light.
