Musar for Ketubot 206:26
ר' בבית שערים הוה אלא כיון דחלש אמטיוהי לציפורי
But have we not taught: “Justice, justice shalt you pursue”–follow Rabbi to Beth She’arim? Rabbi was [indeed] living at Beth She’arim but when he fell ill he was brought to Tzippori
Mesilat Yesharim
Our sages of blessed memory expounded (Ketuvot 103b): "'he honors those who fear G-d' (Tehilim 15:4) - this refers to Yehoshafat King of Judah, who, whenever he saw a Torah scholar, would rise up from his throne, hug him, kiss him, and say to him: 'Rebbi, Rebbi, my teacher, my teacher'".
