עִ֣יר קְטַנָּ֔ה וַאֲנָשִׁ֥ים בָּ֖הּ מְעָ֑ט וּבָֽא־אֵלֶ֜יהָ מֶ֤לֶךְ גָּדוֹל֙ וְסָבַ֣ב אֹתָ֔הּ וּבָנָ֥ה עָלֶ֖יהָ מְצוֹדִ֥ים גְּדֹלִֽים׃
там был маленький город, и в нем было мало людей; и против него вышел великий царь, и осадил его, и построил против него большие опоры;
Kohelet Rabbah
“There was a small city, and few men in it, and a great king came against it and surrounded it, and built a great siege upon it” (Ecclesiastes 9:14).
“There was a small city” – this is the world, “and few men in it” – this is the generation of Enosh and the generation of the Flood, “and a great king came against it and surrounded it” – this is the King of kings the Holy One blessed be He, “and built a great siege upon it” – with ambush and subterfuge.
