Rashi: From Am Hashem. Malbim - only they may build the Bayis. He commanded all nations to send Jews among them to build it.
Why did he say "Yehi Elokav Imo"?
Ibn Ezra: Hashem was with him, and gave to him wealth to enable building it.
Malbim: Hashem should help him ascend, and to build it.
Why did he say "v'Ya'al" with the prefix Vov?
Ibn Ezra: It is because it is in the middle of a matter. It is not needed.
Why did he call it "Beis Hashem Elokei Yisrael"?
Malbim: In the future, "Veisi Beis Tefilah Yikarei l'Chol ha'Amim." However, now it is only for Yisrael.
Is Elokei Yisrael ha'Elokim only in Yerushalayim?!
Ibn Ezra: No - bi'Yrushalayim refers to Beis Hashem.
Malbim: He thought that outside Yerushalayim, Hashem handed over conduct to the Ma'arachah.
