1 Kings 5:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:

³ Thou knowest the will of David my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.

⁴ But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence.
