석양에 뭇 백성이 나아와 다윗에게 음식을 권하니 다윗이 맹세하여 가로되 내가 해지기 전에 떡이나 다른 것을 맛보면 하나님이 내게 벌 위에 벌을 내리심이 마땅하니라 하매
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
Our Rabbis were taught: In those places where it is customary for women to follow the bier, they may do so, and where it is customary for them to precede the bier, they may do accordingly. R. Juda, however, maintains that women must always precede the coffin, as we find in the case of David, who followed the coffin, as it is said (II Sam. 3, 31) And the King David walked behind the bier. But the Rabbis objected and said that this was done to appease the people. And they were appeased, because David went from the men to the women and from the women to the men [for this purpose], as it is said (Ib. 37) And all the people and all Israel understood on that day that it had not been the will of the king [to kill Abner]. Raba lectured: "What is the meaning of the passage (Ib. 35) And all the people came to cause David to eat food while it was yet day? It is written L'hachroth (to destroy), and we read L'habroth (to feed)— i.e., in the beginning the people came to destroy him because of the death of Abner, but after he had appeased them they caused him to eat."
