1 Chronicles 22:18

Is not the Lord your God with you?
&c.] Blessing them with wealth and riches:

and hath he not given you rest on every side?
from all enemies within and without; so that they had peace and quietness, and leisure to attend the service he recommended to them:

for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into my hand;
meaning the rest of the Canaanites, who before were unsubdued, as even the Jebusites in Jerusalem:

and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people;
and the extent of it carried to its utmost bounds, as God had promised.
