The KJV renders 25 different Hebrew and Greek words as “rest”
What it means
safe, i.e. (figuratively) well, happy, friendly; also (abstractly) welfare, i.e. health, prosperity, peace
or שָׁלֹם; from H7999 (שָׁלַם);
How the KJV renders it
familiar, favour, health, such as be at peaceable, ably, prosperity, ous, rest, safe, salute, welfare, be well
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
