The Worst Yerida Can Turn into the Example of Yiras Shamayim

Look how asking for a king was considered the worst Yerida, and in the end, the Melech becomes the example of Yiras Shamayim! The Melech has two Sifrei Torah, and is a super Tzadik. Dovid called himself a Chassid. Just like Dovid had a special Yetzer Hara, so is the very essence of Malchus a Yerida. But by Hashem, every Yerida is: לְצוֹרֶךְ עַלְיָה for the purpose of Aliya, and the worst: xvin sinner ends up on top of everyone! בְּמָקוֹם שֶׁבַּעֲלֵי תְּשׁוּבָה עוֹמְדִים אֵין צַדִיקִים גְמוּרִים יְכוֹלִין לַעֲמוֹד ברכות לד ב Baalei Teshuva are even GREATER than pure Tzaddikim!
