Musar para sa 2 Samuel 16:10

Therefore, my brother, take great care not to avenge yourself and not to bear a grudge against your brother. For it is yourself against whom you are taking revenge and bearing a grudge! Think only that Heaven is causing all this to happen to you, because of your sins. And what difference does it make whether this suffering comes upon you by the one or by the other? And if I accept all this upon me [resignedly] in truth, all of my sins will be pardoned thereby. As David said to Avishai ben Tzeruyah when he wanted to take revenge on his [David's] behalf, of Shim'i ben Gera, for having shamed and vilified David and cursed him with a dire curse — David did not allow him [Avishai] to do so, saying: "The L-rd told him to curse!" And Chazal have said that because of this the Heavenly tribunal designated David to be the fourth leg of the Divine Chariot, as we shall explain at length below, please G-d.

And when he accepts the din upon himself in truth, certainly the Holy One Blessed be He will "lift his horn" because of this in this world and in the world to come, as we find with King David, may peace be upon him (II Samuel 16:7), when Shimi ben Gera cursed him and cast stones upon him and the servants of David wanted to be zealous for his honor because of this. He did not allow them to do so and accepted the din upon himself, saying (Ibid. 10): "The L-rd has told him to curse," concerning which Chazal have said: "At that time David merited becoming the fourth of the legs of the Divine Chariot."

ברוך תהיה מכל העמים . The words מכל העמים, may mean that because we keep ourselves apart, i.e. מ from all other nations we will experience greater blessings than any other nation. This is similar to כי לא מרובכם מכל העמים. The Torah describes examples of how the special blessings we will enjoy will become manifest. One example is verse 16: ואכלת את כל העמים, "You will consume all the other nations which G–d will deliver into your hands." This verse has to be understood according to the interpretation of Rabbi Bachyah ben Joseph ibn Pakuda, author of Chovot Halevavot. We find the following comment in the chapter שער הכניעה paragraph 7: "One of the pious people said that when the time comes for people to be shown their account (after death) they will be shown that many merits have been credited to their account of which they had been totally unaware. In fact, they will exclaim that they had never performed the good deeds credited to them in the ledger. It will be explained to them that every time someone abused them verbally in their hearing and they did not display anger or displeasure, such failure to respond was credited to them. Along this line we have an allusion in Reshit Chochmah in the fifth chapter of the שער הענוה, regarding David's reaction (Samuel II 16,10) to Shimi's curse. David speculated that perhaps G–d would turn his curse into a blessing when He saw how he, David, suffered from it emotionally, and furthermore how he had refrained from responding. David meant that G–d would credit Shimi's good deeds to his credit account.
