Questions:
  •  Everyone was going to  drown if דוד המלך did not put this piece of pottery with Hashem’s name back in place at the risk of erasing Hashem’s name. Why did דוד המלך need the ק”ו of אחיתופל, it should be obvious that it is permitted since peoples lives were at stake?

 

  • Why does the קללה of a חכם come true if it was not for a valid cause?
  •  Why does the קללה על תנאי  of a חכם come true even when the condition is fulfilled?
  •  How does the admission of ראובן annul the נידוי of יהודה?
