사무엘하 7:1 해설: Rashi & Tze'enah Ure'enah

And Hashem granted him rest. [Dovid] said [The condition] has been fulfilled, "And He has granted you peace from all your enemies etc." (Devarim 12:10). What is written after [that verse]? "Let it be that the place that [Hashem, your Elokim] chooses etc." It is now [incumbent] upon us to build the Chosen House.

“When the king settled in his house” [7:1]. When King David sat in his house at peace with all of his enemies, he said to Nathan the prophet. I sit in a house of fir wood and the Holy Ark sits in a tent. Nathan the prophet answered him. Do what you want; God is with you. That night, God came to Nathan the prophet and said to him. Go and say to David. Thus has God said: you want to build a house for me? Our sages learn from this that a prophet does not know everything in his prophecy. Here, Nathan the prophet had thought that David should build a house for God and the Holy One had intended that he should not build. It is similar with Samuel the prophet. He was a great prophet and he was supposed to make a son of Jesse the king. Samuel did not know which one he should anoint. Our sages say, and why did the Holy One come to Nathan the prophet during the night? The answer is that the Holy One thought that David was very quick to making vows and oaths. Perhaps David would make a vow that he wanted to build a house. The Holy One came to Nathan the prophet quickly before David could make a vow. Some sages say that the prophecy came to Nathan the prophet in a dream.⁸Yalkut Shimoni, II Samuel, Remez, 143.
