פירוש על שמואל ב 24:12

I will afflict you with [one of] three [things]. One of three and so [we find], "With two [of my daughters] you will marry [into my family] today",¹⁸Shmuel I, 18:21. i.e., with one of two. "I will take three from you" is retribution for the three [curses] you put on Shaul, "Either Adonoy will smite him or his day will come and he will die or he will go down to battle and perish."¹⁹Ibid, 26:10.
