הִנֵּ֗ה עוֹדָ֛ךְ מְדַבֶּ֥רֶת שָׁ֖ם עִם־הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַאֲנִי֙ אָב֣וֹא אַחֲרַ֔יִךְ וּמִלֵּאתִ֖י אֶת־דְּבָרָֽיִךְ׃
Lalu, selagi engkau masih berbicara di sana dengan raja, aku akan masuk menyusulmu dan melengkapi perkataanmu.
Jerusalem Talmud Peah
Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Jonathan: One may calumniate disruptive persons. What is the reason? (1K. 1:14) “I shall come after you and confirm your words.162While Bat Sheba told the truth, the intervention of Nathan is intended to cause trouble to Adoniah. Hence, the sin of calumny extends even to true statements unless their publication has some value for the public peace.” Rebbi Zeïra asked before Rebbi Yasa: Why was Adoniah ben Ḥaggit killed? Because he asked for Avishag of Shunem163What was a problem for the Yerushalmi was none for the Babli, Sanhedrin 22b, where the Galilean Rebbi Jacob in the name of R. Joḥanan explains that Avishag, while she was not a concubine of David, had the legal status of one and, therefore, could not be married to anybody but a king.? He said to him, they were looking for a pretext to proscribe the lives of disruptive persons.
