Talmud su I Samuele 28:78
Jerusalem Talmud Chagigah
Behold the Maker of mountains and Creator of wind, etc. This is one of six verses which Rebbi was reading and crying18Attributed to other authors in the Babli, 4b. For the next three verses, the problem is that by their text reward for exemplary behavior is not guaranteed.. Implore the Eternal, all the meek of the Land19Soph. 2:3., etc. Hate evil and love goodness,20Am. 5:15. etc. He shall put dust in his mouth21Thr. 3:29., etc. For all deeds22Eccl. 12:14., etc. Samuel said to Saul, why did you irritate me231Sam. 28:15., etc. He said to him, you should not have angered your Creator by me. You made me your idol. Do you not know that just as the worshipper is punished, the worshipped is punished? Not only this but I was thinking that this was the Day of Judgment and I was afraid. And is that not an inference de minore ad majus, if Samuel, the teacher of the Prophets, about whom it is written, all of Israel knew, from Dan to Beer Sheva241Sam. 3:20., etc., was afraid of the Day of Judgment, so we so much more? And this behold the Maker of mountains and Creator of wind, even matters which are not sinful are written for everybody25Babli 5b. on his writing tablet26Greek πίναξ.. And who tells to a person? The breath of his mouth. Rebbi Ḥaggai in the name of Rebbi Jabes. The Maker of mountains and Creator of wind. Rebbi Ḥaggai in the name of Rebbi Jabes, those Sepphoreans, “chaos” is darkness and murkiness27The last two sentences which probably are corrupt seem to explain the word “chaos” in Gen. 1:2..

Tractate Kallah Rabbati
The Rabbis taught: When a Sage dies, all the people have the duty to mourn for him, as it is written, Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him;391 Sam. 28, 3. and it is also written, And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him.40ibid. XXV, 1. Since it states all Israel, it is self-evident that they gathered themselves together! First they mourned for him in the cities and people said, ‘Is this [sufficient] honour for Samuel who journeyed from city to city and from province to province to teach us Torah?’, something which no other prophet had done; as it is said, And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el and Gilgal and Miẓpah; and he judged Israel in all those places. And his return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel.41ibid. VII, 16f. Therefore it states, And all Israel gathered themselves together, i.e. there was a united national mourning. Raba said: Greater was their preoccupation [with mourning] in the case of Samuel than in that of Moses. Of Moses it is written, And the children of Israel wept for Moses,42Deut. 34, 8. but here it is written, And all Israel … lamented him—even the women, slaves and minors.
