Commentary for II Samuel 23:6
וּבְלִיַּ֕עַל כְּק֥וֹץ מֻנָ֖ד כֻּלָּ֑הַם כִּֽי־לֹ֥א בְיָ֖ד יִקָּֽחוּ׃
But the ungodly, they are as thorns thrust away, all of them, For they cannot be taken with the hand;
Rashi on II Samuel
Like an itinerant thorn. Cordon in O.F. When [this thorn is] young it is soft. It then travels to and fro and eventually hardens until it is [so sharp that it is] unable to be held in one's hand.
