Contextual Overview

¹⁸ Then King David went in and sat in front of the Lord . David said, "Lord God , who am I? What is my family? Why did you bring me to this point? ¹⁹ But even this is not enough for you, Lord God . You have also made promises about my future family. This is extraordinary, Lord God . ²⁰ "What more can I say to you, Lord God , since you know me, your servant, so well! ²¹ You have done this great thing because you said you would and because you wanted to, and you have let me know about it. ²² This is why you are great, Lord God ! There is no one like you. There is no God except you. We have heard all this ourselves! ²³ There is no nation like your people Israel. They are the only people on earth that God chose to be his own. You made your name well known. You did great and wonderful miracles for them. You went ahead of them and forced other nations and their gods out of the land. You freed your people from slavery in Egypt. ²⁴ You made the people of Israel your very own people forever, and, Lord , you are their God. ²⁵ "Now, Lord God, keep the promise forever that you made about my family and me, your servant. Do what you have said. ²⁶ Then you will be honored always, and people will say, ‘The Lord All-Powerful is God over Israel!' And the family of your servant David will continue before you. ²⁷ " Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, you have said to me, ‘I will make your family great.' So I, your servant, am brave enough to pray to you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And what can David say more unto thee,.... In a way of self-abasement, or in thankfulness for such wonderful favours, or in prayer for more and other mercies; he wants words, as if he should say, to express his sense of his own nothingness and unworthiness, and to praise the Lord for all his benefits; and so large are the grants and promises made, that there is no room for him to ask for more:

for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant; what a sense he has of his own meanness and vileness, what gratitude his heart is filled with, and what his wants and necessities are, which God only can supply, and does abundantly, even more than he is able to ask or think. The Targum is,

"and thou hast performed the petition of thy servant, O Lord God.''

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 7:20. What can David say more — How can I express my endless obligation to thee?
