Commento su II Cronache 10:4
אָבִ֖יךָ הִקְשָׁ֣ה אֶת־עֻלֵּ֑נוּ וְעַתָּ֡ה הָקֵל֩ מֵעֲבֹדַ֨ת אָבִ֜יךָ הַקָּשָׁ֗ה וּמֵעֻלּ֧וֹ הַכָּבֵ֛ד אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥ן עָלֵ֖ינוּ וְנַֽעַבְדֶֽךָּ׃
'Tuo padre ha reso grave il nostro giogo; ora dunque rendi il grave servizio di tuo padre e il suo pesante giogo che egli ci ha messo, più leggero, e noi ti serviremo.'
Rashi on II Chronicles
Your father made our yoke hard because he was a man who toiled at work, and he made it incumbent upon us to sustain his laborers with the tax, as it is written in I Kings (5:27): “And King Solomon raised a levy, etc.”
