What are "Havos"?

1.

Rashi: They are breakages [Radak - and an evil matter].

2)

Why does it say "Lo Yamish me'Rechovah"?

1.

Radak: They always engage in Toch u'Mirmah against me. They gather in the Rechov (town square) to talk about this.

3)

What are "Toch u'Mirmah"?

1.

Rashi: They are an expression of a plague.

2.

Radak: Toch is like Mirmah 1 . It uses this expression, for he shows with his mouth what is not in his heart. His mouth speaks one matter, and in his heart is another matter 2 .

3.

Metzudas Tziyon: It is Mirmah hidden Toch (inside) the heart.

Malbim (Yirmeyah 9:5, Bi'ur ha'Milos): It says "Alah Fihu Malei u'Mirmos va'Soch" (10:7). Toch are words that have two Perushim; amidst this, he tricks the listener.

2

Radak: Also their mouth plotted against David! Rather, when David was among them, amidst Mirmah they showed love. If they truly loved him, they would not conspire with Avshalom!
