וַאֲדֹנִיָּ֧ה בֶן־חַגִּ֛ית מִתְנַשֵּׂ֥א לֵאמֹ֖ר אֲנִ֣י אֶמְלֹ֑ךְ וַיַּ֣עַשׂ ל֗וֹ רֶ֚כֶב וּפָ֣רָשִׁ֔ים וַחֲמִשִּׁ֥ים אִ֖ישׁ רָצִ֥ים לְפָנָֽיו׃
Адония, сын Аггифы, возвысил себя, говоря: 'Я буду королем'; и он приготовил ему колесницы и всадников, и пятьдесят человек, чтобы бежать перед ним.
Rashi
Exalted himself. He elevated himself.9The literal meaning is, “lifted himself.”
Ralbag
And he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him: It is fitting for you to know that it was not permitted for the kings of Israel to accumulate many horses (Deuteronomy 17:16), and therefore this was not a small matter for the kings of Israel.
Rashi
And fifty men. Whose spleens had been removed, and whose soles of their feet had been carved.10See Maseches Sanhedrin 21b and Rashi there.
