Zitat Kommentar zu Schemuel I 18:21

From Ramatayim: Our Rabbis, may their memory be blessed wrote, they were two tall (ramot) mountains, viewing (tzofot) one another. And if so - that they were two mountains, and the word indicates so, since it is an expression of duality - the explanation of, "from the two tall mountains," would be, from one of the two tall mountains. This is like, "and he was buried in the hills of Gilead" (Judges 12:4); "with two can you be my son-in-law" (I Samuel 18:21), and that which is similar to them. And the meaning of Tzufites, is that it is [speaking] about the high mountains, as we explained. But Tzufites can [also] be explained as prophets. And the, "from," that it mentioned is in the place of two, as if to [also] say from the family of Tzufites. And so did Yonatan translate it [in the Targum], "from the students of the prophets." As a prophet is [also] called a tzofeh (seer or scout), as in, "I have given you as a tzofeh" (Ezekiel 33:7). And this is the correct explanation, since he was from a family of priests. For he was from the sons of Korach, as his lineage is detailed in Chronicles; and the sons of Korach were prophets - Asir, Elkanah and Aviasaf. And Elkanah, the father of Shmuel, was from the descendants of Elkanah, the son of Korach.

I will afflict you with [one of] three [things]. One of three and so [we find], "With two [of my daughters] you will marry [into my family] today",¹⁸Shmuel I, 18:21. i.e., with one of two. "I will take three from you" is retribution for the three [curses] you put on Shaul, "Either Adonoy will smite him or his day will come and he will die or he will go down to battle and perish."¹⁹Ibid, 26:10.
