Commentary for I Samuel 24:10
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר דָּוִד֙ לְשָׁא֔וּל לָ֧מָּה תִשְׁמַ֛ע אֶת־דִּבְרֵ֥י אָדָ֖ם לֵאמֹ֑ר הִנֵּ֣ה דָוִ֔ד מְבַקֵּ֖שׁ רָעָתֶֽךָ׃
And David said to Saul: ‘Wherefore hearkenest thou to men’s words, saying: Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
Rashi on I Samuel
Why do you listen. Why do you accept Do'eg's slander concerning me?4Rashi states that Dovid was alluding to Do’eg because Dovid said ‘why do you listen to the man [אָדָם]’, in the singular, referring to one individual person.
