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 ) .
