In my book on sabbaticals, I showed how God had on several Biblical occasions used times of rest to establish covenants with people: Noah after the Flood, Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai after their liberation from the Egyptians, and Nehemiah and the Israelites after the Exile.
I was shown another one today: God's covenant with David in II Samuel 7--also mentioned in Psalm 89--after "the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies".
