Welcome back to the Daily Holy Story.
The King of Spain received a group of people visiting him. “I know that your plot is evil and false. Wait here, and very quickly you will see that it’s all a false evil plot against the Jews of our city.” The complainers stayed in the palace of the King, and the King sent for the Jews. The complaint was filed against, that a dead body was found in their home.
When the Jews arrived, the King said to them, “Tell me the truth. What does it mean when David said in Tehillim (Psalms), ‘Behold, the guardian of Israel will not nap and not sleep’?” The Jews kept quiet, and they didn’t know what the King was trying to say. The King said to them, “In their mouths, they began to give a report, a serious accusation. In the house of a Jew in the city, they found a dead person that was a citizen of the town.”
The words of the advisor encouraged the complainers, and they said to the King, “He was a Jew-hater, and from his mouth came terrible words and hatred against the Jews.” “You’re silent? You don’t know how to answer?” Before the King could answer the accusers, the advisor of the King started speaking: “And we will kill every Jew we find.” When the King heard their words, he said, “If you don’t do judgment against the Jews, then we will go to their neighborhoods...” The King said, “I will explain the Pasuk (verse). And now I understand it better than ever, after my eyes saw what I saw this past night.”
“On this night,” said the King, “I was twisting and turning in my bed. I couldn’t fall asleep. So when the hours passed, I decided to get up out of my bed and walk into my courtyard. To the full moon. Suddenly, I saw behind the fence of my courtyard a group of people running in this road. I got close to my fence, and I looked outside to the road, and what did my eyes see? One of the men was running with a body on his shoulder. I said, ‘It must be something.’ I thought, and I sent three of my bodyguards to go see what’s going on. I commanded my bodyguards to quietly follow them and to see if the man they’re carrying on their shoulder is alive or dead. My bodyguards didn’t disappoint me. They followed them, and they found that the man was carrying a dead body on his shoulder and leaving it in the courtyard of the Jews that they are accusing.”
Who were the people, why there’s double language, the evil plot, that carried that dead body on their shoulders? When there’s a need for it.
You want to know? “No one will sleep and no one will go to bed,” said the King. “But he won’t let others sleep, these people that are in my palace. Hashem will not nap. That these people are trying to plan. that are accusing the Jews, So I will see with my own eyes, of killing one of our people. not to be able to fall asleep this night.” Now you understand. And that’s why Hashem caused me, in David the King’s passage.
And have a wonderful, wonderful day. And not only that, thank you for listening...
