2 Samuel 7:1

Rest and sabbathPeace
After the king had settled into his palace and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies around him,

2 he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”

3 And Nathan replied to the king, “Go and do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”
