1:21 וַיְהִי כִּי יָרְאוּ הַמְיַלְּדֹת אֶת הָאֱ־לֹקִים וַיַּעַשׂ לָהֶם בָּתִּים
Rashi
says which homes, ויעש להם בתים: - בתי כהונה ולויה
ומלכות שקרויין בתים. ויבן את בית ה' ואת בית המלך (מלכים א' ט א). כהונה ולויה
מיוכבד, ומלכות ממרים, כדאיתא במסכת סוטה (סוטה יא ב):
So
Batei Kehuna came from Aharon and Batei Malchus came from Yehuda. However, as
the Gemara says in Maseches Sotah 11b
(7 lines from the bottom) Miriam married Caleiv Ben Yefuneh who was from
Sheivet Yehuda and from there came Malchus Beis Dovid.
The
problem with this is, if you look at Megillas Rus 4:18 – 4:22 it says יח וְאֵלֶּה תּוֹלְדוֹת פָּרֶץ, פֶּרֶץ הוֹלִיד
אֶת-חֶצְרוֹן. יט וְחֶצְרוֹן הוֹלִיד אֶת-רָם, וְרָם הוֹלִיד
אֶת-עַמִּינָדָב. כ וְעַמִּינָדָב הוֹלִיד אֶת-נַחְשׁוֹן,
וְנַחְשׁוֹן הוֹלִיד אֶת-שַׂלְמָה. כא וְשַׂלְמוֹן הוֹלִיד
אֶת-בֹּעַז, וּבֹעַז הוֹלִיד אֶת-עוֹבֵד. כב וְעֹבֵד הוֹלִיד
אֶת-יִשָׁי, וְיִשַׁי הוֹלִיד אֶת-דָּוִד.
So
Dovid is traced all the way back to Yehuda, however, Caleiv is not mentioned at
all. So it seems that Dovid Hamelech did not come from Caleiv. You can’t say
that Caleiv was known by a different name because Ram from Posuk 19 is Caleiv’s
brother and Chetzroin was Caleiv’s father. The reason why Caleiv was called Ben
Yefuneh even though Chetzroin was his father is as the Gemara explains here in
Sotah 11b (2 lines from the bottom) that Caleiv turned aside (fanah) from the
plot of the Meraglim. So how can it be that Miriam married Caleiv and that
brought about Malchus Bais Dovid if it was Ram?
R’
Vidal Hatzarfasi who is a Moroccan Gadol suggests a Teretz. Maybe there was
some type of Yibum in this line of generations until Dovid Hamelech. So Miriam
could have married one of the brothers either Ram or Caleiv and he died and then
Miriam performed Yibum with the other one. The lineage is called Al Sheim Achiv
Hameis and still it was literally from one of them. This is an ingenious Teretz
to make both be true that Miriam married Ram and Caleiv and from them came
Malchus Bais Dovid.
We
know that Caleiv outlived Miriam because Miriam died in the Midbar and Caleiv
got a Cheilek in Eretz Yisrael. So it can’t be that Caleiv died during the
lifetime of Miriam and Ram did Yibum. So it must be that Ram married Miriam,
then died, and Caleiv was Miyabeim her. However, the Gemara in Sotah 12a (top
line) says Miriam was called Azuvah because she had a disease that made it that
no one wanted to marry her except for Caleiv. So it sounds like Caleiv was her
first husband. If so, the Teretz would fall apart and the original Kasha comes
back of how can Dovid come from Caleiv if it says that he came from Ram?
