Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
There is no indication how soon after the bringing up of the ark these things occurred, but it was probably at no long interval.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VII
David consults the prophet Nathan about building a temple for
the Lord, and is encouraged by him to do it, 1-3.
That night Nathan receives a revelation from God, stating that
Solomon, not David, should build the temple, 4-16.
Nathan delivers the Divine message, and David magnifies God for
his mercies, and makes prayer and supplication, 17-29.
NOTES ON CHAP. VII
Verse 2 Samuel 7:1. When the king sat in his house — That is, when he became resident in the palace which Hiram, king of Tyre, had built for him.
And the Lord had given him rest — This was after he had defeated the Philistines, and cast them out of all the strong places in Israel which they had possessed after the overthrow of Saul; but before he had carried his arms beyond the land of Israel, against the Moabites, Syrians, and Idumeans. See 2 Samuel 8:1-14.
