1 Reyes 5:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 5:3

Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house
unto the name of the Lord his God
As he designed, and was desirous of; and which Hiram might know not only by common fame, but from David himself, between whom there was an intercourse, and that in relation to cedars for building, which David had of Hiram, ( 2 Chronicles 2:3 ) ;

for the wars which were about him on every side;
or warriors, as the Targum, the Philistines, Moabites, Edomites, and Syrians:

until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet;
made them subject and tributary to him, as he did at length, see ( 2 Samuel 7:1 ) ( 8:1 ) so the "Cetib", or textual reading, is; but the "Keri", or marginal reading, is, "under the soles of my feet"; that is, Solomon's, which agrees with what follows; it was true of both.

1 Reyes 5:3 In-Context

1 Hiram, rey de Tiro, envi贸 sus siervos a Salom贸n, cuando oy贸 que le hab铆an ungido rey en lugar de su padre, pues Hiram siempre hab铆a sido amigo de David.
2 Entonces Salom贸n envi贸 palabra a Hiram, diciendo:
3 T煤 sabes que mi padre David no pudo edificar una casa al nombre del SE脩OR su Dios a causa de las guerras en que se vio envuelto, hasta que el SE脩OR puso a sus enemigos bajo las plantas de sus pies.
4 Mas ahora el SE脩OR mi Dios me ha dado paz por todas partes; no hay adversario ni calamidad.
5 Y he aqu铆, pienso edificar una casa al nombre del SE脩OR mi Dios, como el SE脩OR habl贸 a mi padre David, diciendo: "Tu hijo, a quien pondr茅 sobre el trono en tu lugar, 茅l edificar谩 la casa a mi nombre."
