Commentaire sur Samuel 1 26:10
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר דָּוִד֙ חַי־יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֥י אִם־יְהוָ֖ה יִגָּפֶ֑נּוּ אֽוֹ־יוֹמ֤וֹ יָבוֹא֙ וָמֵ֔ת א֧וֹ בַמִּלְחָמָ֛ה יֵרֵ֖ד וְנִסְפָּֽה׃
Non, par le Dieu vivant! ajouta David; mais que ce soit le Seigneur qui le frappe, ou qu’il meure quand son jour sera venu, ou qu’engagé dans une bataille il y périsse.
Rashi on I Samuel
As Adonoy lives. Some say that he swore to his temptation;1 The use of swearing to ward off temptation is done by many Tzadikim. For example, Avrohom swore [Bereishis 14:22-23] that he will not take the spoils of victory after defeating the four kings. It was Dovid’s inclination to kill Shaul for trying to kill him. He therefore swore that he will not kill Shaul.—See Midrash Tanchuma Beha’aloscha 10. others say that he swore to Avishai, that if you kill this righteous man [Shaul], I shall mingle your blood with his blood.
