וַתִּצְלַ֨ח עָלָ֜יו ר֣וּחַ יְהוָ֗ה וַֽיְשַׁסְּעֵ֙הוּ֙ כְּשַׁסַּ֣ע הַגְּדִ֔י וּמְא֖וּמָה אֵ֣ין בְּיָד֑וֹ וְלֹ֤א הִגִּיד֙ לְאָבִ֣יו וּלְאִמּ֔וֹ אֵ֖ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָֽׂה׃
Lumukob sa kanya nang may kapangyarihan ang espiritu ng Walang-Hanggan, at pinunit niya ito sa dalawa na gaya ng pagpunit sa isang batang kambing, kahit wala siyang anumang hawak sa kanyang kamay. Ngunit hindi niya isinalaysay sa kanyang ama at sa kanyang ina ang kanyang ginawa.

Dovid pacified. He separated and held them off with these words.3The literal meaning of וַיְשַׁסַּע is ‘he divided or split’ as in Shoftim 14:6. By being tactful in speaking to his men, Dovid divided their unanimous opinion of wanting to attack Shaul.—Metzudos
Rashi
ושסע AND HE SHALL CLEAVE [IT] — The term שסע is used only for rending with the hands. Similarly it states in the story of Samson (Judges 14:6) “and he rent him (וישסעהו) as he would have rent a kid” (Zevachim 65b).
Rav Hirsch
