**וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד זֶה הוּא בֵּית ה׳ הָאֱלֹהִים וְזֶה מִזְבֵּחַ לְעֹלָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל.** מִכָּאן וָאֵילָךְ, שֶׁכָּל שֶׁמְּבַקֵּשׁ ה׳ לְהַקְרִיב לוֹ קָרְבָּן, יֵצֵא וְיַקְרִיב עַל אוֹתוֹ מִזְבֵּחַ:

**לִכְנוֹס אֶת הַגֵּרִים.** גֵּרִים שֶׁנִּתְגַּיְּרוּ, שֶׁלֹּא רָצָה לְהַעֲבִיד בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל עֲבוֹדַת פֶּרֶךְ; וְכֵן מָצִינוּ בִּשְׁלֹמֹה לְמַטָּה ״וַיִּסְפֹּר שְׁלֹמֹה וְגוֹ׳ וַיַּעַשׂ מֵהֶם שִׁבְעִים אֶלֶף״ נוֹשֵׂא ״סַבָּל וְגוֹ׳״ (דה״ב ב:טז-יז), וְעוֹד כְּתִיב ״וְכָל הָעָם הַנּוֹתָר מִן הַחִתִּי וְגוֹ׳״ (דה״ב ח:ז-ח) – שְׁנֵי פְסוּקִים, וְעוֹד כְּתִיב ״וּמִן בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל... לֹא נָתַן שְׁלֹמֹה לַעֲבָדִים וְגוֹ׳״ (דה״ב ח:ט):

**to gather the strangers** who had converted, because he did not wish to make Israelites perform rigorous labor. And so we find with Solomon below (II Chron. 2:1): “And Solomon counted, etc.”; (ibid. verse 17): “And he made of them seventy thousand who bear burdens.” And it is written further (ibid. 8:7): “And all the people remaining from the Hittites, etc., who were not of Israel, etc.”; (ibid. verse 9): “And of the Children of Israel, whom Solomon did not make slaves, etc.”

**נַעַר וָרָךְ.** לְפִי שֶׁאֲפִילוּ בֶּן אַרְבָָָּעִים וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנָה קָרוּי נַעַר, דִּכְתִיב: ״וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן נוּן נַעַר לֹא יָמִישׁ וְגוֹ׳״ (שמות לג), שֶׁהֲרֵי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ לֹא מָלַךְ אַחֲרֵי מֹשֶׁה כִּי אִם עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁמוֹנֶה שָׁנָה וְחַי מֵאָה וָעֵשֶׂר שָׁנָה, נִמְצָא בְּשָׁנָה רִאשׁוֹנָה כְּשֶׁהָיוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּמִּדְבָּר הֵעִיד עָלָיו הַכָּתוּב ״וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן נוּן נַעַר״, מֵאָז הָיָה בֶּן אַרְבָָָּעִים וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנָה, עַל כֵּן הֻצְרַךְ לִכְתֹּב רָךְ, שֶׁלֹּא הָיָה כִּי אִם בֶּן שְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה כְּשֶׁמָּלַךְ:

**is young and tender** נַעַר, because even one [who is] forty-two years old is called נַעַר, for it is written: (Exod. 33:11): “... and his young (נַעַר) servant, Joshua the son of Nun, did not depart, etc.,” for Joshua reigned after Moses only twenty-eight years, and he lived one hundred and ten years. We find (in the first year that the Israelites were in the desert) that Scripture testifies about him: “and Joshua the son of Nun, his young [servant],” and at that time he was forty-two years old. Therefore, it was necessary to write, “tender,” because he [Solomon] was only twelve years old when he reigned.
