Commentary for II Samuel 13:39
וַתְּכַל֙ דָּוִ֣ד הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ לָצֵ֖את אֶל־אַבְשָׁל֑וֹם כִּֽי־נִחַ֥ם עַל־אַמְנ֖וֹן כִּֽי־מֵֽת׃ (ס)
And the soul of king David failed with longing for Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Rashi on II Samuel
Dovid desired. This is a shortened verse, [it means to say:] "Dovid's soul desired." Yonoson also translates [this way:] "Dovid's soul desired," as [we find:] "[My Soul] yearns, and even pines."7Tehilim 84:3. Language [denoting] desire.
