열왕기상 3:4 탈무드 참조: Makkot

And Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: "What is that which is written, 'A song of ascents. Of David. I am happy for they tell me: "We will go to the house of the Eternal"' (Psalms 122:1). David said before the Holy Blessed One: 'Master of the Universe, I heard people saying: "When will this elder [i.e. me] die, and Solomon his son will come and build the Temple, and then we can go up [there] on food and I will be happy?"' The Holy Blessed One replied: '"One day in your courtyards is better for me than a thousand [days]" (Psalms 84:11). One day when you are occupied with Torah before me is better for Me than a thousand burnt offerings that in the future your son Solomon will bring to the altar!'"
