“I increased my actions; I built myself houses, I planted myself vineyards” (Ecclesiastes 2:4). “I increased my actions” – Solomon said: I have made my actions greater than the actions of my ancestors. “I increased my actions” – that is what is written: “The king crafted a great ivory throne…” (I Kings 10:18). “I built myself houses” – that is what is written: “It was at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses” (I Kings 9:10). “I planted myself vineyards,” as it is stated: “Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon” (Song of Songs 8:11).
