SCRIPTURE

"Is not Jehovah your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and before his people." — 1 Chronicles 22:18 (ASV)

Is not the Lord your God with you ? &c.] Blessing them with wealth and riches:

and has he not given you rest on every side ? from all enemies within and without; so that they had peace and quietness, and leisure to attend the service he recommended to them:

for he has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand ; meaning the rest of the Canaanites, who before were unsubdued, as even the Jebusites in Jerusalem:

and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people ; and the extent of it carried to its utmost bounds, as God had promised.
