Commentaire sur Samuel 2 15:23
וְכָל־הָאָ֗רֶץ בּוֹכִים֙ ק֣וֹל גָּד֔וֹל וְכָל־הָעָ֖ם עֹֽבְרִ֑ים וְהַמֶּ֗לֶךְ עֹבֵר֙ בְּנַ֣חַל קִדְר֔וֹן וְכָל־הָעָם֙ עֹבְרִ֔ים עַל־פְּנֵי־דֶ֖רֶךְ אֶת־הַמִּדְבָּֽר׃
Tout le pays pleurait bruyamment tandis que cette multitude passait. Le roi traversa le torrent de Cédron, et le peuple s’avança sur la route qui mène au désert.
Rashi on II Samuel
And all the people were passing. From the king and onwards according to his location they are called passers by.8Even though he was also passing by, since they were ahead of him, they are called passers by relative to his location.
