Commento su I Re 5:17
אַתָּ֨ה יָדַ֜עְתָּ אֶת־דָּוִ֣ד אָבִ֗י כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יָכֹל֙ לִבְנ֣וֹת בַּ֗יִת לְשֵׁם֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֔יו מִפְּנֵ֥י הַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר סְבָבֻ֑הוּ עַ֤ד תֵּת־יְהוָה֙ אֹתָ֔ם תַּ֖חַת כַּפּ֥וֹת רגלו [רַגְלָֽי׃]
'Tu sai come David mio padre non poteva costruire una casa per il nome dell'Eterno, suo Dio, per le guerre che erano attorno a lui da ogni parte, finché l'Eterno non li mise sotto la pianta dei miei piedi.
Rashi on I Kings
Was unable to build a house, etc. He was not permitted because of the state of war and the Torah states, “And He will give you rest from all your enemies all around,”15Devarim 12:10. and afterwards, “It will be that the place, etc.16Ibid. v. 11. Will you seek His Presence, etc.”17Ibid. v. 5.
