Shlomo forgoes the voluntary system upon which the Mishkan was constructed, and builds the Temple using a taxation system, thus forcing the nation to participate in the construction of the Temple. Why? What is the advantage of this system? What are the disadvantages? How did his decision affect the status of the Temple? The midrash blames Shlomo for his haughtiness, but also commends him for knowing how to redirect his emotions to building the house of God.
