We're now in Pesukeh Tehilim that start with a Vav , Tehilim in 52,10, where Dacid Hamelech says,1 וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ כְּזַ֣יִת רַ֭עֲנָן בְּבֵ֣ית אֱלֹהִ֑ים בָּטַ֥חְתִּי בְחֶסֶד־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים עוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד I am like an evergreen olive in the house of Hashem. I trust in the kindness of Hashem forever and ever. The Chida, in his commentary on Tehilim, says this evergreen olive in the house of Hashem refers to a time in history (Melachim 2, 11,1-2) where the wicked queen Atalia slaughtered the entire royal family with the exception of an infant, Yoash, who was hidden in the attic above the Holy of Holies in the temple. David Hamelech saw prophetically that there was a danger to his offspring so he prayed that his offspring would flourish like an evergreen olive in the house of Hashem. The house of Hashem refers to the attic of the Holy of Holies, where the last remnant of his seed would be replanted. David Hamelech ends with, “ I trust in the kindness of Hashem forever and ever.” that his progeny will never be completely destroyed. The Ben Yoyada, the Ben Ish Chai’s commentary on the Shas (Sanhedrin 5A) tells a fascinating story that also shows David Hamelech’s progeny in danger and how it was God's hesed that protected this final sapling. He says it happened during the era of the Persian kings. One of them decided to wipe out the seed of David Hamelech – and all that was left was one lady who was pregnant. Her husband was killed, and this embryo was the last of the Davidian line. The Persian king thought that maybe there was a pregnant woman out there, so he tried to find this lady and destroy her as well. But then he had a dream that he was standing in his garden filled with all kinds of beautiful trees. In his anger, he took an ax and started chopping all the trees down. As he was looking to see if there was anything else left to chop down, he sees a little sprout coming out of the garden and he takes his ax to chop it down. But then an old man, all red, with beautiful eyes, starts screaming at him, takes the ax out of the king's hand and hits the king on the forehead with the axe. The king was close to death. He fell the begging and pleading, “ What did I do to you? Why'd you hit me with the ax?” He cries and begs and the old man ends up healing him. He didn't know what was going on, but before he got up, the promised that he would take care of this last sapling- water it and develop and rebuild the garden. When he woke up in the morning he saw blood on his bed, and he was very concerned. He called in all of his dream interpreters, just like Paroah, but they told him he’d need a Jew to interpret this. They found one of the Chachamim to interpret the Dream and he explained that this reddish fellow was David Hamelech, and that he was upset with you that you're trying to wipe out his progeny and there's only one little sapling left and you're looking for that also. And he's going to kill you. You promised him you'd take care of the final sapling. The man agreed with the interpretation and swore that he would take care of of the woman. And he did. He made a special room for her, to take care of her. And when the baby was born, they named Bustanay , which means garden in that language. Bustanay was raised by the king. This man, he says, became the first of the Rosh Galiot , the head of the exile and his children continued to be the Roshei Galiot for generations to come. He adds, that's what Yaakov Avinu meant when he said Lo Yaasur Shevet M’Yehuda that there would always be a little sprout left. And from there, David Hamelech would continue. So once again, we see that David Hamelech’s bitachon lasts for generations, counting on Hashem’s Hessed. It's an important to point out that the Malbim says that this only happens when you rely on Hashem’s hessed (which is never ending) and connect yourself to Hashem, which is never ending. He has a never ending protection, even generations after him, based on this reliance on Hashem that he will take ca
