מדרש אויף תהילים 84:2

"How beloved are your dwelling places, O Lord of hosts! What is the significance of this love? It is that for the sake of the Temple, you have made this lyre, so that whoever contributes to the Temple will have their name inscribed on it. As it says in Isaiah 66:6, "A voice of uproar from the city, a voice from the Temple!" This refers to the good deeds done in the city and in the Temple. So, how beloved are your dwelling places, O Lord of hosts! The Temple is called "beloved," and those who built it are also called "beloved," as it says in 2 Samuel 12:25, "And they called his name Jedidiah (beloved of the Lord)." And those who were built in its territory are also called "beloved," as it says in Deuteronomy 33:12, "Of Benjamin he said, 'The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him; he covers him all the day long, and he dwells between his shoulders.'" David also said in Psalm 60:7, "That your beloved may be delivered."

(Devarim, Ibid. 12) "Of Benjamin he said 'Beloved (yedid) of the L-rd.'": Benjamin is especially beloved because he is called "yedid" of the L-rd. For there are many "lovers," but the most beloved of all is "yedid." Six are called "yedidim": The Holy One Blessed be He," viz. (Isaiah 5:1) "I will sing now of my Yedid"; Benjamin: "yedid of the L-rd; he shall rest securely upon Him"; Solomon, viz. (II Samuel 12:25) "And he called his name 'yedidyah' because of the L-rd" (i.e., because of the L-rd's love for him.) And it is written (Ibid. 24) "And the L-rd loved him." Israel, viz. (Jeremiah 12:7) "I have delivered the yediduth of My soul into the palm of her enemies"; the Temple, viz. (Psalms 84:2) "How yedidoth are Your dwellings (i.e., the Temple)"; Abraham, viz. (Jeremiah 11:15): "What is My yedid (Abraham) doing in My house" (viz. Menachoth 53b). Let the yedid (Solomon) come and build the yedid (the Temple) in the portion of the yedid (Benjamin) for the Yedid (the Holy One Blessed be He); and let the yedidim (Israel), the children of the yedid (Abraham) come and enter therein.
