1 Chronicles 17 — Context

20

O LORD, there is none like you; there is no God besides you! What we heard is true!

21

And who is like your people, Israel, a unique nation in the earth? Their God went to claim a nation for himself! You made a name for yourself by doing great and awesome deeds when you drove out nations before your people whom you had delivered from the Egyptian empire and its gods.

22

You made Israel your very own nation for all time. You, O LORD, became their God.

23

So now, O LORD, may the promise you made about your servant and his family become a permanent reality! Do as you promised,

24

so it may become a reality and you may gain lasting fame, as people say,‘The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is the God of Israel.’ The dynasty of your servant David will be established before you,

25

for you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a dynasty for him. That is why your servant has had the courage to pray to you.

26

Now, O LORD, you are the true God; you have made this good promise to your servant.
