DEUT38 ["tishberu" also understandable as "you shall break")] -- From here, they said: If you can break your enemy with food, feed him; if not, heap money upon him. And this was the practice followed by R. Yonathan. When a potentate [who would act as a judge] would enter the city, he would send him an expensive gift, saying: if the plea of an orphan or a widow comes before him, his wrath will be appeased, and he will be reconcilable (Yerushalmi Shabbath 1:4)
