사무엘하 20:28의 탈무드
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 Kiddushin
Rav Huna said that in the days of Rebbi Eleazar ben Azariah they tried to include them86To permit marriage with Gibeonites.. Rebbi Abbahu inverts the wording: In the days of Rebbi Eleazar they said, who could purify the altar’s part87R. Eleazar ben Azariah vetoed the admission of Gibeonites into the Jewish marriage pool by arguing that Jos. 9:23,27 implies that Joshua made the Gibeonites Temple slaves, in addition to their being the people’s slaves by Jos. 9:21. Now the servitude to the people had certainly lapsed. The “dedicated ones” returned from Babylonia as free men and one had to assume that already in the time of the Judges they had regularly been manumitted in this respect. But nobody could manumit Temple slaves, and marriage with slaves was impossible. In this version, the exlusion of Gibeonites from the Jewish marriage pool is a legal necessity which cannot be changed.? That implies that Joshua excluded them. He excluded them only as disqualified for marriage. If you would say, disqualified (because of sins)88It seems that one should read with the parallel in Ketubot 3:1 (27a 1. 59), Notes 16–19, עבדות “slavery” instead of עבירות “sins”. then the rapist of a Gibeonite girl should not have to pay the fine, but we have stated89Implied by Mishnah Ketubot 3:1. The same Mishnah states that the statutory fine is not applicable to the rape of a virgin slave girl. If Gibeonites were excluded as Temple slaves, they should be classified with slaves in matters of the fine (and be excluded from marriage in all its forms.) Cf. Tosafot Yebamot 79a, s.v. ונתינים. It follows that R. Abbahu’s argument is rejected.: The rapist of a Gibeonite girl has to pay the fine.” Rebbi Eleazar said, he cursed them as a snake, as it is said: “But now you are cursed90Jos. 9:23..” And it is written: “The people of Israel said to the Ḥiwwite.91Jos. 9:7.” But were they Ḥiwwites92In 2S. 20:2, they are described as Emorites.? They acted like the snake93In Amaraic חִוְיָא. The name of Eve, חַוָּה, instead of the Hebrew חַיָּה, hints at her relationship with the snake. which said, I know that the Holy One, praise to Him, did say “because on the day you eat from it, you will die a death94Gen. 2:17..” I shall go and trick them so that they eat and will be punished and I shall inherit the earth for myself. So these people acted; they said, we know that the Holy One, praise to Him, said to Israel: “You shall certainly ban them, the Hittite, the Emorite, and the Perizite, as the Eternal, your God, has commanded you95Misquoted from Deut. 20:17.” And it is written: “You shall not conclude a covenant with them.96Deut. 7:2.” We shall go and trick them that they conclude a covenant with us. As you take it, if they kill us, they violate their oath. If they let us live, they violated the [divine] decision. In any case, they will be punished and we shall inherit the Land.

One marries neither the king’s widow nor his divorcee, because they were secluded to the day of their death, living in widowhood772S. 20:3, speaking of David’s concubines with whom Absalom had slept in public.. Rebbi Jehudah bar Pazi in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: This teaches78He reads צְרוּרוֹת not as “bound” but “tied, braided”. that David had them braided and adorned, and brought them before himself every day and told his evil inclination, you desire something which is forbidden to you;79Since the concubines were not legally his wives, Absalom sinned by raping them, but they remained permitted to David by rabbinic rules. It was voluntarily that David refrained from sleeping with them. by your life, I shall make you desire what is permitted to you. The rabbis of Caesarea said, they actually were forbidden to him. If a private person’s vessel used by a private person is forbidden for the king’s use80Since the king is prohibited from marrying his childless brother’s widow, it follows that the only women permitted to a king are either virgins or widows and divorcees of kings., a fortiori the king is forbidden to use the king’s vessels which were used by a private person.

Seraḥ, as it is written, I am of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel1892 Sam. 20, 19, E.V. we are of them, etc.; the words which the wise woman spoke in the name of the people of the city. Here the words are applied to another wise woman, Serah. [which is interpreted,] It is I who completed the number of entrants to the Garden of Eden. Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, as it is written, And his wife Hajehudijah bore Jered the father of Gedor … and these are the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh whom Mered took.1901 Chron. 4, 18. God said, ‘I will call Moses by no other name than she called him’,191Cf. Ex. 2, 10. as it is stated, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said: Moses, Moses.192ibid III, 4. To this David alluded when he exclaimed, He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.1932 Sam. 22, 17; Ps. 18, 17. [It is written,] And she called his name Moses, and said: Because I drew him out of the water.194Ex. 2, 10. The Holy One, blessed be He, said, ‘Because she caused salvation to come to Israel and brought them forth to life, behold, I will prolong her life’. He [also] said, ‘I have made a covenant with your fathers and they followed in the path of their fathers. This woman, however, who has forsaken her royal status and attached herself to you, shall I not reward her?’
In what did Hiram, king of Tyre, earn his merit? Because he built a Tabernacle as Moses did; as it is written, Even all these vessels.1951 Kings 7, 45.

To the tent of meeting. [Why did] Ebed-melech the Ethiopian [enter Paradise alive]? Because he brought up Jeremiah [from the dungeon], as it is written, And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, etc.196Jer. 38, 12f. [Why did] Eliezer [enter Paradise alive]? Because he prayed on Abraham’s behalf. On what occasion? When he said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray Thee, good speed this day,197Gen. 24, 12. and it is further written, Because the Lord thy God sent me good speed.198ibid. XXVII, 20. Jacob said this to his father. And whence do we know that the latter one199Jacob. [entered Paradise alive]? For it is written, And he brought him wine, and he drank;200ibid. XXVII, 25. and it further states, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed.201ibid. 27, i.e., the Garden of Eden. Jacob, according to tradition, brought the vine from the Garden of Eden; cf. Midrash Rabbah, Genesis, LXV, 22 (Sonc. ed., p. 599): ‘When Jacob went in to his father, the Garden of Eden entered with him’.
And the grandson of R. Judah the Prince? For this we have a tradition. And R. Joshua b. Levi? For this too we have a tradition. And whence do we know it of Jabez? For it is written, And Jabez called on the God of Israel … and that Thy hand might be with me.2021 Chron. 4, 10. Some derive it from here, And that Thou wouldest work deliverance from evil, that it may not pain me.203ibid. Whence do we know that evil means death? As it is written, The righteous is taken away from the evil to come;204Isa. 57, 1. and it has been taught: But for the ills that come upon the world, the righteous would not be taken away before their time. And Jabez prayed concerning himself, That it may not pain me, [and then it is written,] And God granted him that which he requested.2051 Chron. 4, 10.
