Kabbalah su II Samuele 14:78

Assarah Perakim L'Ramchal

The nefesh comes at the beginning, and after it the ruach, and after it the neshamah, and chayah and yechidah after them. All souls [neshamah] have a cloak. The nefesh reincarnates by herself, and the ruach by herself, and the neshamah by herself. And souls [neshamot] ride the cloaks of others. The souls are not all equal, since the new ones are not like the old ones, and the ones that reincarnate for the first time and not like the ones which experienced reincarnation twice, and on all He says: "And they are turned round about by His guidance, that they may do" (Job 37:12). And He says: "and let Him devise means, that he that is banished be not an outcast from Him" (II Samuel 14:14). And He says: "Every one that is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, I have formed him, yea, I have made him." (Isaiah 43:7). And He says: "Hashem will reign forever" (Exodus 15:18). And He says: "And all your people are righteous, they shall inherit the land for ever; the branch of My planting, the work(s) of My hands, wherein I glory" (Isaiah 60:21).

Sefer HaBahir

Rabbi Rahumai said: Illumination preceded the world. It is thus written (Gen. 1:3), "God said, 'let there be light,' and there was light." They said to Him, "Before the creation of Israel your son, will you then make him a crown?" He replied yes. What does this resemble? A king yearned for a son. One day he found a beautiful, precious crown, and he said, "This is fitting for my son's head." They said to him, "Are you then certain that your son will be worthy of this crown?" He replied, "Be still. This is what arises in thought." It is thus written (2 Sam. 14:14), "one who makes plans so that no one may be kept banished."

Da'at Tevunoth

84 And indeed when the ultimate purpose is only revelation of the Singularity, and not its concealment, and like we explained before, that this concealment is only intermediate in order to come to this end of revelation; therefore, even though the concealment of His countenance is to innovate with it this manner of behavior of good and negative, He returns nevertheless and oversees with the characteristic of goodness and according to the law of his rulership, to complete bringing about all of this behavior in the general rectification. And this is a simple matter, since ou have already heard how He set a time limit to the this darkness of the good and negative all the time of the six thousand years; and He already decreed from the beginning the end which is the purpose of all of this, and His Singularity will remain revealed, and the goodness of the world will be established forever and ever. If so, every day that passes, we find the world coming closer to its perfection; and not only this, rather that the Holy One blessed is He brings about overturning through the depths of his wisdom, and continuously revolves transformations, to bring the world towards this perfection. And this is what the text said (Tehilim 40:6), "Many things have you done HaShem my Lord, your miracles and thoughts are towards us..."; and similarly said the prophet (Isaiah 25:1) "...Counsel from the past is faith for the faithful"; and similarly it is said (Samuel II 14:14) "...and he plans so that the exiled will not remain exiled". For certainly the Holy One blessed is He does not want to hold to the way of Good and negative for such a long time, and afterward to abandon it and to grasp the way of rulership and Singularity in one moment, like a person who regrets and is consoled; rather from the depths of His wisdom may He be blessed he revolves the events from the depths of his wisdom such that, from within the Good and negative itself in the end we reach this point, that all will be completed, and He may His name be blessed will reveal His Singularity. And more will be explained from this later with the help of heaven:
