What is "v'Yerd mi'Yam Ad Yam"?
Rashi: It is all of Eretz Yisrael, from Yam Suf until Yam Pelishtim.
Radak #1: If it refers to Shlomo, it is like it says "Ki Hu Rodeh b'Chol Ever ha'Nahar mi'Tifsach v'Ad Azah" (Melachim I, 5:4). This is without Eretz Yisrael. About Eretz Yisrael it says "v'Shati Es Gevulcha mi'Yam Suf v'Ad Yam Pelishtim umi'Midbar Ad ha'Nahar" (Shemos 23:31).
Radak #2: If it refers to Mashi'ach, his dominion will be over the entire world.
Radak citing Ibn Ezra: From the southern sea called the Red Sea 1 , until the north sea (Okainus, i.e. Atlantic ocean).
If they hold that Yam Suf is now called the Red Sea, why did they not say Yam Suf? (PF)
What is "umi'Nahar Ad Afsei Aretz"?
Rashi: This is like it says about Shlomo "Ki Hu Rodeh b'Chol Ever ha'Nahar..." (Melachim I, 5:4). Radak - it is past Eretz Yisrael.
Radak: It says about Shlomo "Moshel b'Chol ha'Mamlachos" (Melachim I, 5:1). I.e. all kings of the land feared him and obeyed him and brought gifts to him.
Radak, based on Ibn Ezra: "Umi'Nahar" is the river that comes out of Eden, which is the beginning of the east. Afsei Aretz is the end of the west.
Why does it now teach about the extent of his reign?
