[Music] will you please explain how sha had such a tragic kingship despite being so righteous he didn't even want to be a king in the first place did take away his free will uh thank you uh no the uh the the Tora says and the discusses it that sha as righteous as he was uh got got what they call and he uh was led to believe that David was trying to steal his kinghood and uh unfortunately he believed a few W Wicked people like who has no share of the world to come because D was the head of the S was the head Rabbi and uh he uh that led sha to make multiple mistakes as a result of this single uh single uh mistake that he made if you will and uh this is why uh this led him to make other mistakes but nonetheless he still considered a sadik he still went to ganeden he still has a share of the world to come next to Shi so let's not misunderstand and think that uh that sha was uh anything less than he was which is being a sadik but uh making mistakes yes he made mistakes and uh uh he paid for them uh but he still was a very very big sadik in his is right next to uhi uh as far as the mistakes that in essence is not only showing that he was you know despite being a sadik he's still human just like despite being a sadik Moshe is still human uh you know he he he made in essence in his level he made mistakes AB in his level made mistakes everybody makes mistakes so it shows that they're still human they're not Supernatural uh but aside from that it also shows how objective our tah is to show the uh the the good and the uh the bad in everybody unlike the other religions that only personify their leaders as perfect and practically deedes uh or outright Dees AR is objective AR shows the good and the bad the good and the bad about the sages the forefathers and everybody in it there is a uh and and there's no there's no righteous person that won't sin this is a rule in the world so long as you're a human being you have an evil inclination and you will make certain mistakes there's the discusses the mistakes of certain sages and how hasem saves some of them from them beforehand some after hand for example immorality there's a rule in the T in Tor that meaning that no one is above immorality meaning that if a person doesn't work on themselves day and night and doesn't watch themselves they could easily fall for immorality AKA almost fell for immorality both of them the the uh transformed himself into a very beautiful woman and they went after those women literally running after her imagine this old sadik running after a woman yeah that's what happened and one of them swam across the uh the river for it and uh and and wanted to go after this woman and you know last minute the uh their Torah protected them and the yet transformed back into the that he is into the Satan that he is and said to them if they didn't scream your name in sham saying R AKA this their to is very precious to me don't mess with them I would murder you right now kill you right now for even wanting to sin with this thing that you thought was a woman meaning that but it was to show them that they're still human even abay abay says that when he saw these two uh uh young people two young people didn't know each other they went on uh they went on a long path and uh AB was an old man was following them to see to make sure they're not sinning followed them for a very very long distance and he saw that once they got to that City that they want they parted ways without ever touching each nothing they were in the woods there were this never never touching yourself AB started crying he says if I was him I would have sinned already with this girl meaning that no one is above the immorality no one is above sin altogether hence the reason why put into the world Chu to put chba so it's a uh it's not a uh uh such a uh a that sh made a mistake uh but again the sin itself doesn't make the person into a wicked person it's what they do after the sin that makes them into a wicked or a righteous person if a person sins and then does chuva then guess what that person is a sadik that person is a righteous person they even get Merit for that chuva they get rewarded for that chuva on the other hand if the person makes a sin and then just says you know what I made one sin I'm going to continue making sins that's a wicked person that's a wicked person it's the decision of what you're going to do after you fall that is going to determine who you really are so that's in essence the difference when when sha first realized that he made a mistake with amalik and he uh should he should have also destroyed their uh uh their their their cattle their sheep uh he initially tried defending himself by blaming it on something else but when he realized that he mistaken he said I'm sorry he said I'm sorry Sho said to him had you said I'm sorry right away Hashem would have forgiven you because you tried defending it Hashem didn't forgive you and you lost your kinghood what he didn't also know is that Amal were also they were also Wizards and they actually transformed themselves into sheep so the sheep that he was supposed to slaughter he didn't Slaughter because he wanted to bring them as sacrifices for Hashem even though Hashem didn't ask him for sacrifices he asked them to kill everything that they have he wanted to do a that no one asked for and on him it is written on it's written don't be overly righteous don't do more than hasem asked you to do Hashem said do a do a don't do a and then say you know what let me just do b c and d no one asked you to do BC and d and this is not to be confused with is not doing b c and d is doing a better than you you're even supposed to you're still with a but it's even better than what a is supposed to be but the point is with SH he made a mistake by adding something that he wasn't supposed to add and then when he was uh uh uh rebuked for it instead of immediately saying I'm sorry he made the same mistake as ad who didn't say I'm sorry right away and therefore neither one of them were forgiven were forgiven right away only after the fact he said I'm sorry but they still had to get some Tye of punishment had he said I'm sorry right away then uh hasem would have forgiven him and to also prove that sh was a very righteous person is the says that if sha and's roles were were different the opposite of each other meaning DAV would have been the first king and sha would have been the the younger one Hashem would have allowed sha to kill David meaning he didn't didn't allow David to kill sha even though David could have killed sha still it didn't happen it wasn't the will of hem had it been the opposite it would have sha was such a righteous person he would have actually allowed him to allowed sha to kill David now this is again not to compete with sha who's more righteous David or sha we have no concept of righteousnesses when it comes to to these sikim but the point being is that sha had a as righteous as he was uh was a fallible just like all of mankind are but that's the reason why we rely on a who's Miraculous Creation of helping of allowing us to do cha [Music]
