Kumuha si Rizpa na anak ni Aya ng telang-sako at inilatag ito para sa kaniyang sarili sa ibabaw ng bato, mula sa pasimula ng pag-aani hanggang sa bumuhos sa kanila ang tubig mula sa langit; at hindi niya pinahintulutang dumapo sa kanila ang mga ibon sa himpapawid sa araw, ni lumapit ang mga hayop sa parang sa gabi.
Rashi
Until the rains fell on them. During the rainy season in Tishri. Their bones were not removed for burial. But is it not written, "His body should not remain [hanging] overnight"18Devorim 21:22. Why did Dovid let this happen?? However they reasoned that it is better that one of the letters of the Torah be uprooted in order that God's Name be publicly sanctified. Passersby would ask "Why have these people come to this fate?" They were told [in response], "They are royal sons." "What did they do [wrong]?" "They assaulted downtrodden foreigners." [The passersby] would say, "There is no people better to associate with then this people."19Yevomos 79a.
