שמואל ב כ״ג:ט״ז-י״ז

ויסך אותם לה'. כך אמר: מקובלני מבית דינו של שמואל הרמתי, כל המוסר עצמו למיתה על דברי תורה, אין אומרין שמועה מפיו, ומאי ויסך אותם לה', דאמרינהו משמיה דגמרא (שם סא א):

He offered it as a libation to Adonoy. He said, "This is what I learned at Shmuel the Romosi's court: If anyone risks his life for words of Torah,¹⁷Rashi is continuing with the interpretation of the verse that the water is a reference to words of Torah. we should not recite the halachah in his name." If so, what is meant by "And instead he offerred it as a libation to Adonoy",¹⁸This sounds as if Dovid has accepted the halachic ruling. he [only] recited it in the name of the Gemorah.¹⁹The ruling is not to be said over in their name.

הדם האנשים. לשון תמיהה:

[Do I want] the blood of [these] men. Language denoting astonishment.
