Midrasch zu Divrej Hajamim II 8:4
וַיִּ֥בֶן אֶת־תַּדְמֹ֖ר בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וְאֵת֙ כָּל־עָרֵ֣י הַֽמִּסְכְּנ֔וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֖ה בַּחֲמָֽת׃
Und er baute Tadmor in der Wüste und alle Vorratsstädte, die er in Hamath baute.
Kohelet Rabbah
“For who will eat, or who will enjoy, other than I?” (Ecclesiastes 2:25).
“For who will eat, or who will enjoy?” – Solomon said: Who has eaten as I have eaten? Who has drunk as I have drunk? Who has done as I have done?71In terms of enjoying the pleasures of life. Rabbi Yirmeya [said] in the name of Rabbi Shmuel bar Rav Yitzḥak: Solomon had a great eagle, and he would ride upon it and go to Tadmor in the wilderness and return in one day. That is what is written: “He built Tadmor in the wilderness” (II Chronicles 8:4).72The midrash is interpreting the phrase “who will enjoy [yaḥush]” to mean “who has traveled quickly [yaḥish]” (Etz Yosef).
