Context of 2 Samuel 7:22
20And what can David say more to thee? for thou, Lord Jehovah, knowest thy servant. 21For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, to make thy servant know [it]. Wherefore thou art great, Jehovah Elohim; for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 23And who is like thy people, like Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, and to make himself a name, and to do for them great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thyself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods? 24And thou hast established to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their God.
