134. What is the difference between the kings of Judah and the kings of Israel? The Creator sent David and drove him out of his kingdom, and he immediately repented before the Creator. This should not be surprising, and even Menashe king of Judah, who was wicked, immediately repented before the Creator and took the craft of his fathers and returned to his kingship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
135. This is what the text comes to indicate. \u201cAnd he sent out the raven\u201d is David, who was always calling like a crow, and the Creator sent him from his kingdom and drove him out of his home. It is written about him, \u201cIt went to and fro,\u201d and it is written, \u201cAnd David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up, and he had his head covered.\u201d He went out and repented and confessed his sins and asked for mercy on them, and knew that his sins made it that he was sent from his kingdom and was expelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
136. In every thing that the sin caused in his kingdom or in Israel, he would hang the matter on this, and he knew that this was the cause. It is written, \u201cUntil the waters were dried up,\u201d meaning they replied to him that this matter is not on you, but rather, as it is written, \u201cTo Saul and to the house of bloods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
137. It is written, \u201cAnd there was a famine three years in the days of David,\u201d year after year, and David sought the face of the Creator, thinking that he himself was the cause. The Creator told him, \u201cIt is not over you, but over Saul. \u201cUntil the waters were dried up,\u201d he would everything on himself, and he would immediately repent, and then he did not have to repent, since the matter did not come because of him, as it is written, \u201cIt went to and fro until the waters were dried up,\u201d meaning that the matter was not dependent on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
138. The Creator wanted to test Israel and sent them to Babylon, as it is written, \u201cAnd he sent from himself a dove,\u201d which is the assembly of Israel. It is written about it, \u201cBut the dove found no resting place,\u201d that the king of Babylon hardened his burden with hunger, thirst, and the killing of many righteous men. Because of the burden of her load, \u201cshe returned to him to the ark,\u201d and she repented and he accepted her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
139. The assembly of Israel sinned as before, and He continued to exile them, as it is written, \u201cAnd again he sent out the dove from the ark,\u201d in another exile, of Greece. In the exile in Greece, the faces of Israel became as dark as the rims of a pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
140. Due to all their sorrow and duress, it is written about him, \u201cAnd the dove came to him in the evening.\u201d \u201cIn the evening,\u201d when the time of relief did not shine for them, as was done to them in the beginning, and righteous ones were killed, and the day was darkened, and the sun became evening, and they could not withstand because of the great duress that was on them, as it is written, \u201cWoe to us, for the daylight is fading; for the evening shadows grow long.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe daylight is fading\u201d are those righteous who shine like the sun. \u201cFor the evening shadows grow long,\u201d which remained as remainders of the harvest, which no one values. This is at evening time, and not when the righteous shine for them like the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
141. \u201cAnd behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf in her mouth.\u201d Had the Creator not awakened the spirit of the priests, who were lighting candles with olive oil, the remainder of Judah would have been lost from the world. Each time, she repented and was accepted, except in the fourth exile, since she has still not repented, as it is written, \u201cSo he waited yet another seven days.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
