For the Hillulah of King David, we are giving you a sneak preview of one of our upcoming books on King David, just a little history to give us a small view of his greatness and the greatness of Shavuot which is his yartzite (Hillula) to give the big picture and understand his greatness as much as we can, one will really need to read the book which is very long.
Who would you give part of your life for? Only for someone really close to you or has a very special purpose in this world that only he can fulfill.
KING DAVID RECEIVED 70 YEARS OF HIS LIFE FROM THE FOREFATHERS.
When Adam Harishon sinned, he had to reincarnate into the lower realm into a human man who represents the Kingdom/Malchut in order to atone for him.
When Adam saw the consequence of his incarnation as a person of flesh and blood and what would result from his act, he wanted to secure the existence of King David. Adam HaRishon expected that eventually, David would rectify his sin and his original act will be rectified. Adam HaRishon saw that King David wasn’t originally expected to live in this world for more than three hours. So Adam took 70 of his
own years in order that through him King David would live in this world and be engaged in Torah and mitzvoth.
As presented in the Zohar: Even if a person goes on in this world for a thousand years, On the day of his death, it seems to him that his entire life has passed in an instant. He regretted making his life shorter and so to speak requested the years back. He did not merit giving King David his years and still it was decided that he should pass 70 years before his time.
