Talmud sobre II Samuel 15:7

³⁰⁶The text is copied in Num. rabba 9(29).“And because he stole three steals, his father’s opinion, the court’s opinion, and Israel’s opinion.” His father’s opinion, as it is written³⁰⁷2S. 15:7.: “It was after forty years.” David himself did not rule more than forty years, and here, it says so? But it is from the time that Israel demanded a king³⁰⁸Babli Temurah 14b; ascribed to R. Joshua. The source is Seder ‘Olam Chapter 14; cf. the extensive commentary in the author’s edition (Northvale NJ, 1998), p. 139.. “For your servant made a vow³⁰⁹2S. 15:8..” He said to him, what else do you want? He said to him, write me a tablet that two men should go with me. He said to him, tell me whom you want and I shall write. He said to him, write it to open and I shall take whom I want. He wrote it open. He went and added two people each until he had added 200 people. That is what is written³¹⁰2S.15:11., “with Absalom went 200 invited people from Jerusalem, going in their simplicity.” Invited, from David. Going in their simplicity, of Absalom. “They did not know anything,” of Aḥitophel’s counsel. Rebbi Huna in the name of Rebbi Aḥa: They all were presiding judges. Then they saw the things. They went to change sides. They said: Master of all universes: Let us fall in David’s hand and do not let fall David in our hands! For if we fall in David’s hand, he will have mercy on us. But if, Heaven forbid, David would fall in our hands, we would not have mercy on him. That is what David said³¹¹Ps. 55:19; cf. Midrash Tehillim55[4]., “He saved me in peace from my confidant, for the majority were with me!” “The court’s opinion”. “And Absalom said, who would make me the judge of the land.³¹²2S. 15:4.” “So Absalom would act.³¹³2S. 15:6.” “And Israel’s opinion.” Absalom insinuated himself with the men of Israel.³¹³2S. 15:6.”
