Contextual Overview
16 Then David went in, sat before Adonai and said, "Who am I, Adonai , God, and what is my family, that has caused you to bring me this far? 17 Yet in your view, God, even this was but a small thing; so you have said that your servant's dynasty will continue on into the distant future. You have regarded me, Adonai , God, as a man of high rank. 18 What more can David say to you about the honor you are bestowing on your servant? For you know your servant intimately. 19 Adonai , it is for your servant's sake and in accordance with your own heart that you have done all this greatness and revealed all these great things. 20 Adonai , there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you — everything we have heard confirms that. 21 Who can be compared with your people Isra'el? What other nation on earth did God set out to redeem and turn into a people for himself? You made yourself a reputation by doing great and terrifying things, as you drove out the nations from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt. 22 For you made your people Isra'el your people forever; and you, Adonai , became their God. 23 So now, Adonai , let the word that you spoke concerning your servant and his house be confirmed forever; do what you have promised. 24 May your name be confirmed and magnified forever; so that it will be said, ‘ Adonai -Tzva'ot is the God of Isra'el and the God for Isra'el, and the dynasty of David your servant will be set up in your presence.' 25 For you, my God, have disclosed to your servant that you will build him a house. This is why your servant has the courage to pray to you.
