[Avodah] : Shmoneh esrei - 18/19

[SBA]

From: D&E-H Bannett 
Didn't some list members wonder at times about the unusual nusach in our
Boneh Yerushalayim brakha? We say, come back to Jerusalem and live in it as
promised and rebuild it soon ... and speedily prepare David's throne there.
Why does David appear here when the next b'rakha is specifically about
David.....
Why is this remnant of David in Boneh Yerushalyim? Was it in the original
Bavel nusach which had separate b'rakhot for Yerushalayim and David?
>>

Now, had you gone through the hakdomo of the sefer Al HaGeulah ve'al
HaTemurah (p.25) you would have seen that it quotes the Bach (OCh 118)  who
discusses this very matter "...shehaya mefakpekim beNusach birchas
Velirushalayim..."...shehis'chil bevinyan Yerushalayim vesayem beChisei
Dovid - she'ein hap'sicha me'ein hachasima..."

The AHVH goes on "...vetamtsis devarav - deshapir haveh chasima me'ein
hap'sicha deBinyan yerushalayim veChisei Dovid chada milsa....she'ein anu
mevakshin al binyan yerushalayim - ela be'ofen sheyihye raui leKisei Dovid
- lo be'ofen achar.."
