Commentary for II Samuel 15:20
תְּמ֣וֹל ׀ בּוֹאֶ֗ךָ וְהַיּ֞וֹם אנועך [אֲנִֽיעֲךָ֤] עִמָּ֙נוּ֙ לָלֶ֔כֶת וַאֲנִ֣י הוֹלֵ֔ךְ עַ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִ֖י הוֹלֵ֑ךְ שׁ֣וּב וְהָשֵׁ֧ב אֶת־אַחֶ֛יךָ עִמָּ֖ךְ חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶֽת׃
Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I may? return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee in kindness and truth.’
Rashi on II Samuel
And should I today cause you to move with us. I have no place that I can settle you there to escape because I am going to where circumstances have me go each day. When I hear that the pursuers are here I flee here. And so Yonasan translates [the verse], "And if you are estranged [from Avsholom] you can go home" [as:] "And if you you are estranged go [back] to your city."
