Commentaire sur Samuel 1 24:8
וַיְשַׁסַּ֨ע דָּוִ֤ד אֶת־אֲנָשָׁיו֙ בַּדְּבָרִ֔ים וְלֹ֥א נְתָנָ֖ם לָק֣וּם אֶל־שָׁא֑וּל וְשָׁא֛וּל קָ֥ם מֵהַמְּעָרָ֖ה וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ בַּדָּֽרֶךְ׃ (ס)
Il rompit par ces paroles le dessein de ses gens et ne leur permit pas d’attaquer Saül. Celui-ci sortit de la caverne et poursuivit son chemin.
Rashi on I Samuel
Dovid pacified. He separated and held them off with these words.3The literal meaning of וַיְשַׁסַּע is ‘he divided or split’ as in Shoftim 14:6. By being tactful in speaking to his men, Dovid divided their unanimous opinion of wanting to attack Shaul.—Metzudos
