What is the meaning of "He'emanti Ki Adaber"?
1.
Rashi: I believed Tziva's words about Mefivoshes, when I said "Hinei Lecha Kol Asher l'Mefivoshes" (Shmuel II, 16:4). Then, "Anisi Me'od" - I spoke harshly and afflicted you 1 .
2.
Radak: I had great Emunah when I spoke when I was poor and fleeing.
3.
Malbim: I believe with all my heart what I say now. I was very afflicted when I said in my frenzy "Kol ha'Adam Kozev." I was at a very low level to despair so much. Now I see that there is hope, there is reward, and man is not Kozev.
