Commento su II Samuele 18:6

וַיֵּצֵ֥א הָעָ֛ם הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה לִקְרַ֣את יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַתְּהִ֥י הַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה בְּיַ֥עַר אֶפְרָֽיִם׃

Quindi il popolo uscì nel campo contro Israele; e la battaglia fu nella foresta di Efraim.

Rashi on II Samuel

In the forest of Ephraim. How did Ephraim get possesion of a forest on the eastern side of the Yardein,1Dovid had crossed over to the eastern side of the Yardein earlier (17:22) and that’s where this battle took place. no one had a portion there except for the people of God, Reuvein and Menashe? Yehoshua [partitioned Israel] conditionally that all the tribes could [have their cattle] graze in any forest. This forest was near Ephraim's portion2On the other side of the Yardein. except that the Yardein was in between, and the people of Ephraim had their cattle graze there. [Thus] it was called Ephraim's forest
