(a)Shlomo had just finished building the Beis ha'Mikdash and inaugurated it (by celebrating with the offering of many Korbanos) for seven days (from the eighth of Tishrei to the fourteenth, including Yom Kippur, on which the people were permitted to eat and drink). He now allowed the celebrations to continue throughout the seven days of Sukos, before sending the people home.
(b)On the following day, Shemini Atzeres, he granted them permission to go home: "On the eighth day, he sent off the nation, and they blessed the king, and they went to their homes happy and with good hearts, over all of the good that HaSh-m had done for David, His servant, and for Yisrael, His nation" (ibid. 8:66). The verse in Divrei ha'Yamim II (7:10) relates that it was on the next day, on Isru Chag, that the people blessed the king and took leave of him, after they received permission a second time to go.
(c)"All of the good that HaSh-m had done for David" (v. 66) refers to:
1.the fact that He kept His promise to place David's son Shlomo on the throne,
2.the fact that He forgave David for the sin of Bas Sheva, as the Gemara will explain later on the Amud.
(d)That pardon manifested itself in the refusal of the gates of the Beis ha'Mikdash to open to allow the Aron ha'Kodesh to enter, despite Shlomo ha'Melech's numerous entreaties, until he mentioned the merits of David his father. That was when the gates opened and allowed the Aron ha'Kodesh to enter. At that point, the enemies of David knew that HaSh-m had forgiven him for the sin of Bas Sheva.

17)[line 18]משכןMISHKAN (KORBENOS HA'NESI'IM)
(a)The first seven days during which the Avodah was performed in the Mishkan were called the "Shiv'as Yemei ha'Milu'im." The word "Milu'im" means "filling," and refers to the fact that during these days the position of Divine servants was finally "filled" by the Kohanim (RASHI to Vayikra 8:22). These seven days began on the twenty-third of Adar and lasted until Rosh Chodesh Nisan, which was the eighth day.
(b)During these Yemei ha'Milu'im, the Kohanim as well as the various components and utensils of the Mishkan were anointed with Shemen ha'Mishchah (see Background to Shekalim 16:6). Many Korbanos, termed Korbanos ha'Milu'im, were offered. Moshe Rabeinu officiated as the Kohen Gadol during this time, demonstrating to Aharon and his sons how the Avodah should be performed. On each of the seven Yemei ha'Milu'im, Moshe assembled and dissembled the Mishkan; on the eighth day, he left it standing. On that day, Aharon was officially appointed as Kohen Gadol and the Shechinah descended to permanently dwell in the Mishkan (RASHI ibid. 9:23).
(c)Beginning on the eighth day, Rosh Chodesh Nisan, the Nesi'im (lit. princes; representatives) of the respective Shevatim offered inauguration sacrifices. Termed the Chanukas ha'Nesi'im, for each of the first twelve days of Nisan a single Nasi offered his Korban. Each Nasi offered a silver bowl equal to the weight of one hundred and thirty Shekel, filled with flour and oil to be offered as a Minchah; a silver basin equal to the weight of seventy Shekel, filled with flour and oil to be offered as a Minchah; a golden long-handled bowl equal to the weight of ten Shekel filled with Ketores; a yearling bull, a ram, and a sheep all offered as Korbenos Olah; a male goat offered as a Chatas; and two bulls, five rams, five male goats, and five sheep all offered as Korbenos Shelamim (Bamidbar 7:1-88). Each Nasi conceived of his Korban separately to correspond to the characteristics of his Shevet.

19)[line 19]סקילהSEKILAH
One who transgresses a sin punishable by stoning (Sekilah) in front of two valid witnesses who properly advised him of the consequences of his action must be tried in Beis Din. If convicted, he is led to the Beis ha'Sekilah, which is located outside of the settlement (Sanhedrin 42b). This consists of a structure twice the height of an average person. The convict is given wine to drink until he is inebriated, and he is then brought to the top of the Beis ha'Sekilah with his hands tied. The two witnesses whose testimony served to convict him accompany him, and one of them pushes him off of the top platform. Should he survive the fall, the witnesses roll a large stone heavy enough to require the two of them to lift it onto him from above. If he is still alive following this, then all those assembled pelt him with stones until he perishes.

21)[line 20]כרתKARES (KARES AND MISAH B'YEDEI SHAMAYIM: Heavenly Punishment of Untimely Death)
(a)Some sins are so severe that they are punished with untimely death. There are two types of untimely death that are used as heavenly punishments: Kares, and Misah b'Yedei Shamayim. Kares means "being severed" from the world and dying before one's time. Misah b'Yedei Shamayim means "death at the hands of heaven." These punishments are not administered by the courts, but through divinely administered justice.
(b)One who deliberately transgresses a commandment that is punishable with either Kares or Misah b'Yedei Shamayim is punished even if there are no witnesses to his act, and even if he was not warned at that time of his transgression that his violation will result in his untimely death.
(c)The Tif'eres Yisrael, in his commentary to Sanhedrin 9:6, lists a number of differences between Misah b'Yedei Shamayim and Kares:
1.One who is punished with Kares will die before age 60 (according to Moed Katan 28a, or before the age of 50, according to the Yerushalmi Bikurim 2:1). One punished with Misah b'Yedei Shamayim will die after the age of 60 but before his time has come (according to Moed Katan ibid., or before the age of 60, according to the Yerushalmi ibid.)
2.When one is punished with Kares, even his children (who are minors at the time of his sin) die, and he bears no further children. When one is punished with Misah b'Yedei Shamayim, only he is punished and not his children (Yevamos 55a and RASHI there; see, however, RIVA in Tosfos to Yevamos 2a DH Eshes, who maintains that Kares only involves the death of one's children in the two cases where the Torah adds the word "Ariri." However, he might be referring to the death of children who are not minors.)
3.Some add that when punished with Misah b'Yedei Shamayim, the sinner's cattle and possessions slowly expire until he is left destitute - see Insights to Yevamos 73:2 and Insights to Pesachim 32:2.
4.In addition to the above, in certain instances a form Kares is prescribed in which the sinner not only dies before his time but is also 'severed' (Nichras) from receiving a portion in the World to Come (see Sanhedrin 64b, 90b).
(d)As stated in the Mishnah at the beginning of Kerisus, there are 36 sins listed in the Torah for which one receives Kares: the sixteen forbidden conjugal relations listed in the Torah (Vayikra 18); one who curses G-d; an idol worshipper; one who worships Molech (see Background to Sanhedrin 53:5); one who practices Ov (see Background to Pesachim 113:62); one who desecrates Shabbos; one who ate Kodshim or entered the Mikdash while in a state of Tum'ah; one who consumed blood, Nosar (see Background to Pesachim 120:9), or Pigul (see Background to 6:60); one who slaughters or offers a sacrifice outside of the Mikdash; one who eats Chametz on Pesach; one who eats or performs Melachah on Yom Kipur; one who compounds Shemen ha'Mishchah (the oil made by Moshe Rabeinu to anoint the Mishkan and its vessels, Kohanim Gedolim, and the kings of the Davidic dynasty) or the Ketores (see Background to 11:25) for his own use; one who anoints himself with Shemen ha'Mishchah; one who neglects to give himself a Bris Milah; and one who neglects to offer a Korban Pesach.

26)[line 25]רצוףRATZUF- consecutive; that is, it proceeds without pause
27)[line 29]גמר יום יום מהתםGAMAR YOM YOM ME'HASAM (GEZEIRAH SHAVAH)
(a)In a Beraisa found in the introduction to the Sifra (the Halachic Midrash on Vayikra), Rebbi Yishmael lists the thirteen methodologies employed by Chazal when determining Halachah from the verses of the Torah. One of these is Gezeirah Shavah, through which two identical words (or two words that share the same root) appearing in two different sections of the Torah teach us that Halachos of one apply to the other and vice versa.
(b)One may apply a Gezeirah Shavah only if he has received a tradition from his teachers that the connection between the two words exists. Once the connection is established, however, then one may apply it to derive Halachos that one did not necessarily receive a tradition for.
(c)The CHIDUSHEI HA'RAN (Sanhedrin 22b) and the KEREN ORAH (Ta'anis 17a) explain that a Gezeirah Shavah between a verse from the Torah and a verse from Nevi'im or Kesuvim is not a true Gezeirah Shavah. It is merely a device that reveals the meaning of a word (see also Chagigah 10b and Insights to Ta'anis 17:1:d).

35)[line 41]כשולי קדירהSHULEI KEDEIRAH- the [blackened] underside of a pot
36)[line 41]אותו עוןOSO AVON (MA'ASEH D'BAS SHEVA)
(a)David ha'Melech requested that HaSh-m test him, as He had tested Avraham and others, in order to prove his loyalty.
(b)David observed Bas Sheva, the wife of Uriyah ha'Chiti, bathing on her rooftop. He foresaw with Ru'ach ha'Kodesh that he was destined to have a son with her who was to be the next king. She was not technically married at the time, as the custom among David's soldiers was to divorce their wives before going to war in case they should fall in battle and their bodies not be recovered. David summoned her and had relations with her. Subsequently, her husband was deservedly put to death by David (see Background to Sukah 22:38), and David married Bas Sheva.
(c)Nasan ha'Navi came to David and told him a story of two men, one rich and the other poor. The rich man, although he had many animals, stole the lone sheep belonging to the poor man. How did the king rule in such a case? David was incensed and exclaimed that the rich man should receive the death penalty for exhibiting such insolence! Additionally, he should repay the sheep four-fold.
(d)The Navi explained that the story was an analogy, and that David, who had many wives, was the rich man who "stole" Bas Sheva, the lone wife of Uriyah. Overcome with remorse, David could only manage the words "Chatasi la'HaSh-m" - "I have sinned to HaSh-m." Nasan informed the king that HaSh-m had accepted his repentance and that he would not die (Shmuel II 11-12).

(a)Following a severe drought, caused by one of the worst plagues of locusts in history, where one species of locust followed the other until they succeeded in ravaging the entire land, the verse describes how Yisrael did Teshuvah and how HaSh-m responded by promising to alleviate their suffering by blessing them with an abundance of food.
(b)Yoel immediately instructed the people to sow on Rosh Chodesh Nisan (instead of in Tishrei), following the Yoreh (the "early" rain, which fell belatedly in Nisan that year, instead of in Tishrei), rather than eat the seeds and survive at least temporarily (as the Gemara explains in Ta'anis 5a). The people obeyed the Navi's instructions, and a series of miracles occurred. First, before they even had a chance to carry out Yoel's instructions, they discovered vast amounts of grain stored away in the walls and in ant-holes. Second, they had not even finished planting the seeds (on the second, third, and fourth of Nisan) when the Malkosh (the "later" rain) fell on the fifth of Nisan. Third, the crops that normally require six months to grow were ready to be harvested in time for the Korban ha'Omer, eleven days later, on the sixteenth of Nisan. Fourth, when the kernels developed, instead of growing on a small part of the stalks, two-thirds of the stalk was covered with grain, and only one third was just stalk.
(c)It is about that generation that David ha'Melech wrote in Tehilim, "Those who sow with tears will reap with joy" (Tehilim 126:5). When David ha'Melech wrote (in the following verse), "He goes along weeping, carrying the measure of the seeds; he will come back with joy, carrying his sheaves," he was referring to the oxen which plowed the field on the outward journey and gathered the young shoots that had already begun to sprout on their return.

84)[line 40](כותי) [נוכרי](KUSI) [NOCHRI]
(a)The King of Ashur brought the people of Kusa to Eretz Yisrael and settled them in the Shomron. They converted to Judaism after they found themselves under attack from lions. The Chachamim disagree as to whether their conversion was an honest and valid one, or whether it was prompted only by feelings of self-preservation and the Kusim remained Nochrim.
(b)After the times of the Mishnah, they were found worshipping an image of a dove. At that point, the Chachamim unanimously gave them the status of Nochrim (Chulin 6a).
(c)All of the early manuscripts of the Gemara and Rashi read "Nochri"; this was later changed to "Kusi" by the censor.
