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 tambi茅n sus siervos a Salom贸n, luego que oy贸 que lo hab铆an ungido por rey en lugar de su padre; porque Hiram hab铆a siempre amado a David.
2 Entonces Salom贸n envi贸 a decir a Hiram:
3 T煤 sabes como mi padre David no pudo edificar casa al nombre del SE脩OR su Dios, por las guerras que le cercaron, hasta que el SE脩OR puso sus enemigos bajo las plantas de sus pies.
4 Ahora el SE脩OR mi Dios me ha dado reposo por todas partes; que ni hay adversarios, ni mal encuentro.
5 Yo por tanto he determinado ahora edificar Casa al nombre del SE脩OR mi Dios, como el SE脩OR lo habl贸 a David mi padre, diciendo: Tu hijo, que yo pondr茅 en lugar tuyo en tu trono, 茅l edificar谩 casa a mi nombre.
