Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Samuel 7:1

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 :

i. e. Was settled and warm in the House which Hiram's men built for him, chap. 5. 11. then he reflected upon the unhandsome and unsettled state of the Ark.

Philistines, Moabites, and others, so that they durst not invade his Land, as they had formerly done. For though you read of David's Wars with them, chap. 8. yet in them David was the Aggressor, and entred their Lands.
