Would like to add that there is also an interpretation (there are always many sources) that when Dovid Hamelech wanted to build the Beit HaMikdash and H' said he would not build it but his son, Shlomo, would build it because Dovid had too much blood on his hands. Dovid then answers H' that H' had commanded him to wage these wars against our enemies, so H' answers him - 'I know that the Jewish people will sin and if you, Dovid, build the Beit HaMikdash, I will have to destroy them and not the Temple. If your son builds it and the Jewish people sin, it is better to destroy the edifice and, of course, not my people.' That is how much Hashem loves Dovid!
L'havdil, elef alfei p'amim, this concept of 'woke' is an Amaleiki concept! Can there be anything more opposite to our holy Torah than that!
