שמואל א כ״ד:ג׳-ח׳

צורי היעלים. סלעי היעלים:

The rocky land of the wild goats. The rocks of the wild goats.

להסך את רגליו. להפנות לנקבים גדולים:

To relieve himself. To defecate.¹Maseches Yevamos 103a states that the term ‘לְהָסֵךְ אֶת דַגְלָיו’ is a euphamistic expression. Because of his extreme modesty, Shaul covered himself like a succah [Maseches Berachos 62b], with his clothing. The word לְהָסֵךְ originates from סִכוּדְ, which means covered.—Radak.

ויהי אחרי כן וגו':

Afterwards … etc.

ויאמר לאנשיו חלילה. שני מקראות הללו כתובין שלא כסדרן, אלא כיון שהתחיל לדבר בכריתת המעיל, כלה כל דבריו, ואמר שאף בכריתת המעיל נתחרט, ואחר כך חוזר לדברו הראשון, ואומר ; על שאמרו לו אנשיו הנה היום וגו', השיב להם, חלילה לי וגו':

He said to his men, "[Adonoy] forbid." These two verses are not written in sequence;²According to Radak, these verses are written in chronological sequence, and this conversation took place after Dovid returned to his men with the cut piece of Shaul’s robe. but since he began to speak regarding the cutting of the robe, he finished everything concerning it, and he said that he even regretted cutting the robe. Afterwards, he returns to the first subject, and says that regarding his men's comments, "Behold, concerning this day, etc." He replied to them, 'May Adonoy forbid that, etc.'

וישסע. הבדיל ודחה אותם בדברים:

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
