Midrash sa 1 Cronica 28:19: Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition) & Aggadat Bereshit

GEMARA: What were the great improvements? R. Elazar said that [they were] similar to those which we have learned in the following Baraitha: "The women's compartment was formerly without a balcony, but they surrounded it with a balcony and ordained that the women should sit above and the men below." Our Rabbis were taught: Formerly the women were sitting inside the Temple court and the men outside; but thereupon some levity resulted, and it was ordained that the women should sit outside the Temple Court and the men within; but still levity arose, and it was ordained that the women sit above (upon a balcony) and the men below. How could they do so? Does not the passage say (I Chr. 28, 19) All was put in writing from the hand of the Lord, who gave me instruction respecting all the works of the pattern. R. Joseph said: "They found another passage (Fol. 5'2) and interpreted it. (Zech. 12, 12) And the land will mourn, every family apart by itself, the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart. And they said: 'Can this not be deduced through a fortiory, namely: If in the Messianic future, when Israel will be occupied in mourning, during which time the evil inclination is powerless of indulgence, it is, nevertheless, said that women and men should be separate; how much the more [should they be] in the Temple, where the people are occupied in rejoicing, where the evil inclination possesses the power of indulgence.'"

Chapter 38: Prophets [1] "And King David was old, advanced in years (1 Kings 1:1) And Scriptures says, "And those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength" (Isaiah 40:31). and our Sages said that for thirteen years, David was sick and bedridden, and seven sheep were exchanged under him every day, which exhausted me with groaning; all night I drench my bed with tears, I soak my couch with weeping. (Psalm 6:7) These were the thirteen years that he suffered punishment for the sin he had committed. His enemies said, "When will he die and his name perish?" (Psalm 41:6) Until he begged for mercy from the Holy One, blessed be He, and said before Him, "Master of the Universe, You have kept me alive for the sake of the Temple that Samuel the Prophet entrusted to me. Please grant me life so that I may stand up from this bed and complete the scroll of the construction of the Temple," as it says, "But You, O Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them." (Psalm 41:11) He was raised from his illness and completed the scroll of the construction of the Temple. As soon as the Holy One, blessed be He, heard his prayer, he stood up from his bed, as it says, "So King David rose to his feet." (I Chronicles 28:2) And where does a person stand? Not on his feet? And what does it mean that he stood on his feet? It means that he was healed and became healthy and stood on his feet after all those years, and he handed them the scroll of the Temple, all in writing, "From the hand of the Lord upon me, He gave me understanding." (1 Chronicles 28:19) And it says, "David also gave Solomon his son the plan of the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, and its inner chambers, and the plan of all that he had in mind." (1 Chronicles 28:11-12) Therefore, it is said, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." (Isaiah 40:31)"
