Komentarz do Samuela I 15:17
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל הֲל֗וֹא אִם־קָטֹ֤ן אַתָּה֙ בְּעֵינֶ֔יךָ רֹ֛אשׁ שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אָ֑תָּה וַיִּמְשָׁחֲךָ֧ יְהוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
I rzekł Samuel: Zaprawdę! jakkolwiek małym się wydawałeś w oczach twoich, to jednak głową pokoleń izraelskich jesteś, bo pomazał cię Wiekuisty na króla nad Izraelem.
Rashi on I Samuel
You are the head of the tribes of Yisroel. Targum Yonoson renders, 'the tribe of Binyomin crossed the [Reed] Sea ahead of all the people, as it is said, 'Binyomin, the youngest, rules them.'18Tehillim 68:28. You did not follow in Binyomin’s tradition of taking charge and leading the people without questioning the command of ‘ה. You have thus forfeited the merit by which you became king.
