וַיְהִ֕י עִם־לְבַ֖ב דָּוִ֣ד אָבִ֑י לִבְנ֣וֹת בַּ֔יִת לְשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Postanowił był wprawdzie w sercu swem Dawid, ojciec mój, zbudować przybytek imieniu Wiekuistego, Boga Izraela.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“He had in mind” [8:17]. Solomon said: my father David had the idea in his heart to build a house for the Holy One. God said to David: you did properly to have in your heart to build the Temple. However, I do not want to have you build the Temple, but your son Solomon should build the Temple. Now the Holy One has kept his word and I, Solomon the son of David, have sat on the throne of Israel and have built the house for the God of Israel.
