וַתּ֥וֹסֶף הַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה לִֽהְי֑וֹת וַיֵּצֵ֨א דָוִ֜ד וַיִּלָּ֣חֶם בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּ֗ים וַיַּ֤ךְ בָּהֶם֙ מַכָּ֣ה גְדוֹלָ֔ה וַיָּנֻ֖סוּ מִפָּנָֽיו׃
Der Krieg dauerte unterdessen fort; David zog aus, stritt gegen die Philister und brachte ihnen eine große Niederlage bei; sie flohen vor ihm.
Tosafot
"Here it is about the Torah and the Torah is grammatically female". [Problem:] But if you say: "War" is also grammatically female, as it is written "The war was heavy (fem.) for Shaul" (1 Shmuel 1:33), "And the way continued (fem.)" (1 Shmuel 19:8). Additional problem: When it said that it is the way of a man to make war, and not of a woman, it is also the way of a man to learn Torah and not of a woman! Solution: These are not similar, because here it is about the Torah itself since Scripture is called "way", and not about those who learn it, while "They went out to you" (Devarim 28:7) is about the warriors, and they are men whose way is to make war.
