Commentaire sur Samuel 2 7:4
וַיְהִ֖י בַּלַּ֣יְלָה הַה֑וּא וַֽיְהִי֙ דְּבַר־יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־נָתָ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר׃
Cependant, cette nuit même, la parole de l’Éternel s’adressa ainsi à Nathan:
Rashi on II Samuel
And it was on that night. Rebbe Chanina, the son of Popoh said the Holy One blessed be He said to Nosson, "The man I am sending you to is a quick one, he may hire workers and it will turn out that I [cause] him loss.1Because it is premature to build the Bein Hamikdash at this time. Hurry and tell him, 'It is not you who will build the Temple'." Rebbe Simon says2That Hashem said to Noson. "The man I am sending you to is a vow maker" as it is said,3Dovid about himself. "Who has sworn to Adonoy, vowed to the Mighty One of Yakov Surely I will not enter the shelter of my house"4Rashi explains in Tehilim, verse 5 that Dovid meant he will not go into his house until he finds out in which location the Beis Hamikdosh is slated to be built. (Tehilim 132 2–3) "he may say, 'I will not eat, I will not drink until I do this'5i.e. build the Beis Hamikdash. and it will turn out that I [cause] him loss.6Slightly different versions of the opinions of Rebbe Chanina and Rebbe Simon can be found in Yalkut Shimoni, Shmuel II, 143.
