Context of 1 Chronicles 17:18
16Then King David went into the Lord's tent. He sat down and he prayed to the Lord. He said, ‘Lord, my God, I am not a special person and my family is not special. You have helped me very much and I do not deserve it. 17And you have done more than that, my God. You have made a promise about the descendants of my family in the future. You, Lord God, have spoken to me as if I am a very important man. I am your servant and you know me completely. You have given great honour to me. There is nothing more that I can say. 19Lord, you have chosen to do all these great things for me, your servant. You are telling me what you have promised to do. 20There is nobody like you, Lord. You alone are God. What we have heard about you is true!
