Midrasz do Królów I 5:5

And Jacob sat in the land (Gen. 37:1). Whenever Scripture uses the expression and he sat (also translated “and he dwelt”), it connotes misfortune: And Israel sat in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, … and the time drew near that Israel must die (Gen. 47:29); And the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to make merry (Exod. 32:37); And there fell of the people on that day three thousand men (Exod. 38:28); And they sat down to eat bread; and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites (Gen. 37:25); And Judah and Israel sat safely (I Kings 5:5); And the Lord raised up an adversary against Solomon (ibid. 11:14); And Israel sat among the cedars, etc., and the people began to commit harlotry (Num. 25:1). You may explain every other use of “and he sat” with this negative implication. In this instance And Jacob sat is followed by and Joseph brought evil report of them unto his father (Gen. 37:2).

Another matter, “indeed our bed is fresh,” just as this bed is made only for comfort, so too, until the Temple was constructed, the Divine Presence was tossed from place to place; that is what is written: “I would make My way in a tent and in a tabernacle” (II Samuel 7:6). Once the Temple was constructed, “this is My resting place forever” (Psalms 132:14).
Another matter, “indeed our bed is fresh,” just as this bed is made only for comfort, so too, until the Temple was constructed the Israelites were tossed from place to place, “they traveled…and they encamped” (Numbers 33:5). When the Temple was constructed, “Judah and Israel lived securely” (I Kings 5:5).
Another matter, “indeed our bed is fresh,” just as this bed is only for procreation, so too, until the Temple was contructed, “go count Israel” (I Chronicles 21:2). Once it was constructed, “Judah and Israel were numerous [like the sand that is by the sea in abundance]” (I Kings 4:20).
Another matter, “indeed our bed is fresh,” just as this bed is only for procreation, so too, until the Temple was contructed, “The entire congregation together was forty [-two] thousand [three hundred and sixty]” (Ezra 2:64). Once the Temple was constructed, they procreated, as Rabbi Yoḥanan said: From Gevat until Antipatris there were six hundred thousand towns, and they would produce twice the number of those who emerged from Egypt. Now, even were you to introduce six hundred thousand reeds there, it would not contain them and would not hold them. Rabbi Ḥanina said: The Land of Israel has [since] contracted.
