Context of 1 Chronicles 17:24
22You made Your people Israel Your own people forever, and You, Lord, became their God. 23“Therefore now, O Lord, let the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house endure forever, and do as You have said. Let Your name [and the character that it denotes] endure and be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel, yes, a God to Israel; and the house of Your servant David is established before You.’ 25For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build for him a house (descendants); therefore Your servant has found courage to pray before You. 26And now, O Lord, You are God, and you have spoken and promised this good thing to Your servant.
