Musar for I Samuel 22:19
וְאֵ֨ת נֹ֤ב עִיר־הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ הִכָּ֣ה לְפִי־חֶ֔רֶב מֵאִישׁ֙ וְעַד־אִשָּׁ֔ה מֵעוֹלֵ֖ל וְעַד־יוֹנֵ֑ק וְשׁ֧וֹר וַחֲמ֛וֹר וָשֶׂ֖ה לְפִי־חָֽרֶב׃
And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen and asses and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
לא חמור אחד מהם נשאתי . The prophet Samuel also made a similar statement when he challenged the people asking "whose donkey have I taken, etc." (Samuel I 22,19)? I have elaborated on the lessons to be learned from theses statements in my commentary on מסכת ראש השנה.
