Talmud su II Cronache 2:22
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
40Tanḥuma Noaḥ 8, Tanḥuma Buber Noaḥ 13, Gen. rabba44(15), Eccl. rabba7(59). In a different context, Sanhedrin10:2 (Notes 169–171). Differently, Babli Roš Haššanah16b. The Tanḥuma text seems to be the source for Moses ben Kalonymos’s poem וּנְתַנֶּה תּוֹקֶף. Rebbi Eleazar said, three things annul the harsh decree. They are: prayer, charity and repentance. All three are from one verse412Chr. 7:14.: My people, over whom My Name is called, will submit and pray, this is prayer, and desire my presence, this is charity as you are saying, by charity I shall see Your presence42Ps. 17:15.. They will repent their evil ways, this is repentance. When they act in this way, what is written there? Then I shall hear in Heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land.

Jerusalem Talmud Kiddushin
It is written: “The King said, I shall give73Here ends the Genizah fragment..” “The King took the two sons of Riṣpah bat Ayah whom she had born to Saul, Admoni and Mephiboshet742S. 20:8. In the MT ארמני, not אדמוני. The verse ends: “And the five sons of Mikhal, Saul’s daughter, which she had borne to Adriel ben Barzilai from Meḥolah.” Adriel’s wife was Merab, Saul’s elder daughter (1S. 18:19).,” etc. “Michal, Saul’s daughter, did not have a child until the day of her death,752S. 6:23. In the opinion of the Yerushalmi (Sukkah 5:4, 55c 1. 22; Sanhedrin 2:4, 20b 1. 57) she died in childbirth. In the opinion of the Babli (Sanhedrin 21a) she earlier had a child in Hebron.” and you say so? Say now that they were sons of Merab but Michal raised them, so they were named after her. “He gave them into the hand of the Gibeonites who hanged them on the mountain before the Eternal; all seven fell together.762S. 20:9.” Defective without י77In the MT, the word is written with an extra י, שבעתים,correctly spelled in G and ן. The correct text seems to that of G and ן: “One is missing”, referring to Mephiboshet ben Jonathan.. That refers to Mephiboshet ben Jonathan ben Saul, who was great in the Torah and David intended to save him from their hand. David said, I let them pass by the altar and anyone received by the altar will be mine. He let each pass by the altar, prayed for him, and the altar moved and received him. This is what is written: “I shall call to the Most High God, to the Power Who has the ultimate decision about me78Ps. 57:3.!” For the Holy One, praise to Him, agreed with David. “762S. 20:9. They were killed on the first days of harvest;” it is written “the barley harvest.” “Riṣpah bat Ayah took a sack and laid it out on the rock.792S. 20:10.” What means: “On the rock”? Rebbi Hoshaia said, she was reciting: “The rock, perfect is His action80Deut. 32:4, the verse which opens the traditional burial service called צִדּוּק הַדִּין “justification of the (Divine) judgment.” This is alluded to not only here (and in the sources mentioned in Note 48) but also in the Babli, ‘Avodah zarah 18a..” Rebbi Abba bar Zamina in the name of Rebbi Hoshaia: Sanctification of the Name is greater than desecration of the Name. Referring to desecration of the Name it is written: “Do not leave his corpse on the gallows overnight.81Deut. 21:23.” But referring to sanctification of the Name it is written: “From the start of harvest until water was poured on them.792S. 20:10.” This teaches that they were hanging from the sixteenth of Nisan82The first day of the barley harvest, Lev. 23:14. to the seventeenth of Marḥeshwan83The year is declared one of draught if the rains did not start by the 17th of Marḥeshwan (Mishnah Ta‘anit1:4).. The passers-by were saying: How did these people sin that the rules of justice were changed for them? They were answered: Because these had attacked attached84The word was changed by the corrector. Probably one should read with אֲרוּרים ן “cursed”, Jos. 9:33. proselytes. They would say that even for those who did not convert for the sake of Heaven, the Eternal avenged their blood; if one would convert for the sake of Heaven not so much more? There is no Power like your God and no people like your people. Many converts were converted at that time; that is what is written852Chr. 2:16–17.: “Solomon counted all proselytes and appointed from them 70’000 carriers and 80’000 hewers of stone in the mountains.”

Jerusalem Talmud Yoma
It is written712Chr. 1:13. In the description of the Chronicler, the Ark was in Jerusalem in a tent erected by David but the Tent of Meeting and Bezalel’s altar were in Gibeon. Since the verse is written at the end of the description of Solomon’s visit to Gibeon, one would have expected “from the high place” מִבָּמָה (as read by LXX, most modern translators, and the Babli 53a), not “to the high place”, לַבָּמָה., Solomon came to the high place in Gibeon to Jerusalem. Where do we hold? If he came from Jerusalem, we should say “from Jerusalem to the high place.” If he came from the high place, we should say, “he came from the high place to Jerusalem.” Rebbi Samuel bar Eudaimon said, he came to the high place not to turn his back to the Holiness72Going to Gibeon from Jerusalem he had his face always turned to face the Ark..

Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot
Assada is the same as σχεδία, which is the same as raphsodot.243The end of the Halakhah explains the unusual word used for “raft” at the end of the Mishnah. The verse refers to the logs of cedar delivered by Hiram of Tyre to Solomon for the building of the Temple. (2Chr. 2:15) “We shall bring them to you as rafts.”

Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
117Several passages in this paragraph are truncated; refer to the Qiddušin text.The king said, I shall give1102S. 21:6.. The king took the two sons of Riṣpah bat Ayah1182S. 21:8.. Michal, Saul’s daughter, did not have a child1192S. 6:23., and you say so? Say now that they were sons of Merab but Michal raised them, so they were named after her. The king gave them into the hand of the Gibeonites who hanged them on the mountain before the Eternal1202S. 21:9.. All seven is written defective of one letter. That refers to Mephiboshet, for whom David prayed and whom the altar received. He told them, I let them pass by the altar and anyone whom the altar receives will be his, because of Mephiboshet who was great in Torah. He let him pass by the altar, which received him. Rebbi Avin said, I shall call to the Most High God, to the Power Who has the ultimate decision over me121Ps. 57:3.. For the Holy One, praise to Him, agreed with David. They were killed on the day of harvest …at the start of the barley harvest1202S. 21:9.. Riṣpah bat Ayah took a garment and laid it out on the rock1222S. 21:10.. What means on the rock? Rebbi Hoshaia said, she was reciting: The rock, perfect is His action123Deut. 32:4.. Rebbi Abba bar Zamina in the name of Rebbi Hoshaia: Sanctification of the Name is greater than desecration of the Name. Referring to sanctification of the Name it is written: Do not leave his corpse overnight67Deut. 21:23.. But referring to desecration of the Name it is written that they were left hanging until water was poured on them1202S. 21:9.. This teaches that they were hanging from the sixteenth of Nisan to the seventeenth of Marḥeshwan. The passers-by were saying: How did these people sin that the rules of justice were changed for them? They were answered: Because these had attacked cursed proselytes. Is that not an argument de minore ad majus? Since even for those who did not convert for the sake of Heaven, the Eternal avenged their blood; if one would convert for the sake of Heaven not so much more? Many converts were converted at that time; that is what is written1242Chr. 2:16–17.: Solomon counted all proselytes … and appointed from them 70’000 carriers, etc.
