Context of 2 Samuel 7:17

15But My lovingkindness and mercy will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16Your house (royal dynasty) and your kingdom will endure forever before Me; your throne will be established forever.” ’ ” Nathan spoke to David in accordance with all these words and all of this vision. 18Then King David went in and sat [in prayer] before the Lord, and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house (family), that You have brought me this far? 19Yet this was very insignificant in Your eyes, O Lord God, for You have spoken also of Your servant’s house (royal dynasty) in the distant future. And this is the law and custom of man, O Lord God.
