Rest And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies; Rest And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies; 2 Samuel 7:1 (KJV) 2 Samuel 7:1 This was after he had defeated the Philistines and cast them out of all the strong places in Israel which they had possessed following the overthrow of Saul. David being at rest in his palace, considered how he might best employ his leisure and prosperity in the service of God. He formed a design to build a temple for the ark. Nathan here did not speak as a prophet but as a godly man, encouraging David by his private judgment. We ought to do all we can to encourage and promote the good purposes and designs of others and as we have opportunity, to do something good for others.
