2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,

3 You know how that David my father could not build an house to the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.

4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil result.
