Contextual Overview
18 Then King David went in and sat in front of the Lord . David said, "Lord God , why am I so important to you? Why is my family important? Why have you made me so important? 19 I am nothing but a servant, but Lord God , you have also said these kind things about my future family. Lord God , you don't always talk like this to people, do you? 20 How can I continue talking to you? Lord God , you know that I am only a servant. 21 You will do all these wonderful things because you said you would do them and because you want to do them. And you decided to let me know about all these things. 22 Lord God , this is why you are so great! There is no one like you. There is no god except you! We know that because of what we ourselves have heard about what you did. 23 "And there is no nation on earth like your people, Israel. They are a special people. They were slaves, but you took them out of Egypt and made them free. You made them your people. You did great and wonderful things for the Israelites and for your land. 24 You made the people of Israel your very own people forever, and Lord , you became their God. 25 "Now, Lord God, you promised to do something for me, your servant, and for my family. Now please do what you promised—make my family a family of kings forever! 26 Then your name will be honored forever. People will say, ‘The Lord God All-Powerful rules Israel! And may the family of your servant David continue to be strong in serving you.' 27 "You, Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, have shown things to me. You said, ‘I will make your family great.' That is why I, your servant, decided to pray this prayer to you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And now, O Lord God, thou [art] that God,.... Who is the Lord of hosts, and the God of Israel, that has promised and is able to perform, and is faithful to his promise:
and thy words be true; are truly, punctually, and faithfully performed, never fail:
and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant; concerning building and establishing his house. David repeats this promise as being greatly affected with it, and fully assured of the performance of it.
