Beit HaMikdash and Beit Shelomo
Exegetical Approaches
The Epitome of Shelomo's Reign
Time spent on the building
- According to most of these sources, the relatively short time that it took Shelomo to build the Mikdash betrayed his zeal to honor Hashem. While he was lax about building his own palace complex, allowing the work to stretch out over years, he was eager to finish Hashem's House, and worked continuously to ensure that it was completed as quickly as possible.
- Radak brings an opinion that Shelomo only spent two years building his palace, understanding the phrase, "וְאֶת בֵּיתוֹ בָּנָה שְׁלֹמֹה שְׁלֹשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה" to mean "and Shelomo built his house in the thirteenth year [of his reign]"1 rather than "over thirteen years".2 If so, Shelomo invested significantly more time on the Mikdash than his own home, recognizing that it was far more important.
