311. And Orpa kissed her mother-in-law. Orpa, her name was Harafa, so why was her name called Orpa? It is because she turned her Oref [neck] to her mother-in-law and returned to her place, to Sde Moab. She whored, gave herself up to harlotry, and the people of her place did not accept her, and she went to the land of the philistines, and everyone were battering her as within the bulgur [parched crushed wheat], for she gave herself up to harlotry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
312. She bore six sons from prostitution, and they all fell by the hand of David and his people, who was the son of the son of Ruth, as it is written, \u201cAnd dwelled in Nob, which is in the children of Harafa.\u201d Who placed them in Nob? After all, Nob is near Jerusalem, in the Land of Israel, and he was in the land of the philistines?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
313. However, it teaches that he came over the engagements of Nob since David turned the matter of Nob, the city of the priests that Saul killed, and the Creator is meticulous with the righteous even as a hairsbreadth. The Creator said to David, \u201cYou caused that much in Nob, the city of the priests, verily, either the judgment will apply to you or to your descendants, that none of them but one will remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
314. It is written, \u201cAnd one of the sons of Ahimelech \u2026 escaped,\u201d meaning that of all of his father\u2019s house, only Eviatar remained, and for this iniquity, Saul and his sons died, and several tens and myriads [ten thousand] of Israel, and David was sentenced to die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
315. When David went to the land of the Philistines, Harafa saw him. She said to her son, \u201cThis is the one who killed your brother.\u201d That time was the time for the quality of judgment to avenge David for the deeds of Nob. He summoned Yishvi to kill him. Promptly, \u201cand dwelled in Nob,\u201d which came for the deeds of Nob. This is what David said, \u201cLord of the world, let my descendants be upright before You, and I take upon myself the judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
316. What did he do? Yishvi took him and burdened himself on him, and on the bed, placing a stick on it, and placing himself on the bed in order to crush it. David said to him, \u201cIt is disrespectful to kill me so, with a stick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yishvi took it and threw him in the air, and placed a sword underneath, so he would fall on the sword and David would be killed by it, as it is written, \u201cwho was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David.\u201d Promptly, Avishai mentioned the explicit name, and it remained standing in the air and did not fall to the ground, and David\u2019s horse slipped away and went to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
317. Avishai went and came to the Sanhedrin and said, \u201cWhat is to ride a king\u2019s horse at a time of duress?\u201d and they permitted him. He rode the horse, and returned it to David. He found David standing in the air. He said to him, \u201cGo back on your prayer,\u201d meaning that he should stop praying for the well being of his sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
318. David said to him, \u201cWhat will I return to the Creator for all that He has awarded me? I have assumed it upon myself from the courthouse of Samuel of Ramah that even if a sharp sword is placed upon one\u2019s throat, he should not deny himself of mercy.\u201d Promptly, he went back on the prayer he was praying for his sons, and accepted the judgment over his descendants, as it is written, \u201cAnd Avishai son of Tzruiah helped him, and he struck the Philistines,\u201d by advising him to accept the judgment over his sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
319. Atalia, mother of Ahaziahu, saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family.\u201d It is written \u201cdestroyed,\u201d and it is written, \u201cexterminated all the royal family,\u201d saying that David\u2019s descendants were destined to perish from the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
320. \u201cAnd Yehosheva, daughter of King Yoram, sister of Ahaziah, took Yoash.\u201d This teaches that the Creator sentences to eye for an eye, for as Elimelech had one son left, so did David have one son left. Nevertheless, although that decree was sentenced, and permission was given to the quality of judgment, it is written about it, \u201cYet today they will halt at Nob,\u201d meaning that the quality of judgment in Nob still stands and accuses before the Creator. And as the Creator is so meticulous with the righteous, with the wicked, much more so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
