DovBer PinsonHost
The Shalmi Taina says like this, that Omar Davida, the Neha Kodesh Baruch Hu, Rabbeinu Eloman.

David HaMelech turns to Hashem and says, "Master of the universe, Rabbeinu Eloman, Al kol tzara v'tzarah shehichnasti.

I went into the tzara of Bat Sheva, venasat li et Shlomo, and you gave me Shlomo HaMelech.

I put myself in the situation of the tzara of Kal Yisro, when he counted Kal Yisro and was a magefa.

And you gave me the Beis Hamikdash." So David HaMelech is saying that I went into a hard time, not that life brought me into a hard situation.

But Al kol tzara v'tzarah shehichnasti, that I actually entered into this tzara, I went into this issue.

I created the problem, and yet, wherever I went, wherever I created this tzara, hirchavti li, you made it wide for me.

And specifically, he talks about these two things, these two big events that happened in his life.

The story of Achav, which is, seems to be a issue of gilai royes, even though David lo chata.

And in both these things, the biggest things that happened to David HaMelech is what he, that he had Shlomo.

And davka, Mashiach comes, has to be from Beis David, has to be Beis David the Shlomo.

So he gets a son like Shlomo HaMelech, that the whole Mashiach, Beis Mashiach comes from Shlomo HaMelech.
