One who learns from his friend even the minutest amount of torah must act with honor to him. - not just 'tzarich l'chabdo' which perhaps could mean in heart, rather 'l'nhog bo kavod' in action & deed!
ein kavod ela Torah - see Rashi. Why is it that Torah goes hand in hand with kavod?
why is the source for this specifically from do'eg & David?
kavod only for torah? - what about kavod to parents, the elderly or kavod nasi or melech or even 'rebbi mechabed es ha'ashirim'?
what do the p'sukim chachamim kavod yinchalu have to do (& seemingly from the mishnah almost as they are one passuk) ut'mimim yinchalu tov?
It seems as the common denominator is nachlah - inheritance? Rashi too seems to stress this - as he explains 'chachamim are nochel kavod because they learn Torah & inherit it like a nachlah' - what does nachlah have to do with it?
medrash shmuel even not a chacham and also he didn't TEACH anything, rather the listener was inspired to a new insight through what was being said, or even misunderstood, - any Torah one gleans from another, demands kavod.
ruach chaim even someone who is chayav kareis still has connection. V'nichrisah hanefesh HAHI - that part of one's nefesh is cut off, but so long as he is a Yisrael that has chelk l'olam habah, he's still 'chad hu' - one with Hashem. (a good mashal is like a very thick cord, even if some strands are cut, the rope may still be connected. the slightest vort from a connected Jew is 'chad hu' & connected to hashem - adding strands of connectivity to the receipient of the dvar torah.) Doeg had no connection & still the Torah David gleaned pushed him to respect even his diconnected benefactor.
