Talmud su I Samuele 28:3

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.
