Context of 1 Chronicles 17:18
16And king David went in and sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, Jehovah Elohim, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 17And this hath been a small thing in thy sight, O God; and thou hast spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, Jehovah Elohim. What can David [say] more to thee for the glory of thy servant? thou indeed knowest thy servant. 19Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make known all these great things. 20Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
