This noun expresses the state of quietness or tranquility, appearing in God's promise to Solomon that he would be granted rest from enemies. The term is paired with 'peace' in 1 Chronicles 22:9, describing the conditions under which Solomon would build the temple—in contrast to David's life of warfare. Quietness suggests not merely the absence of conflict but the positive presence of calm, rest, and security. It evokes the settled conditions necessary for domestic prosperity and religious devotion, when weapons can be set aside for building projects.
