Eli and David, Sitting by the Gate
Awaiting news from the battlefront, David, “Sat between two
gates,” until a runner arrives, which hearkens back to the very beginning of
the Book of Samuel (Sefer Shmuel) when Eli the Cohen Gadol (high priest) stands
on the city gates and awaits news of the battle with the Phillistines. Both Eli and David hope for good news only to
learn that their sons have died.
