열왕기상 2:27의 인용 해설

The idea that Hashem manipulates the actions of a king is hardly unique to Rechav'am. Hashem manipulates the heart of Paroh, Sichon, and even Shlomo HaMelech (to bring about the punishment accorded to the descendants of Eili the Kohein, see Melachim I 2:27). Hashem clearly manipulates the heart of Haman and Achashveirosh in Megillat Esther. Indeed, Mishlei 21:1 states “Lev Melech BeYad Hashem,” “the king’s heart is in the hands of Hashem.”

And Tzadok became the kohein gadol, because he was of Pinchas' descendants; he is so listed in the genealogical records in Divrei Hayomim.²⁸I Divrei Hayomim 6:35-38.
