"And it came to pass, when the king dwelt in his house, and Jehovah had given him rest from all his enemies round about," — 2 Samuel 7:1 (ASV)
And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house
Which Hiram's servants had built for him, having no occasion to go out to war:
and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies ;
both at home and abroad; though this rest and peace did not last long; for the next chapter gives an account of each of the people he was engaged in war with, (2 Samuel 8:1–18) .
