Context of 1 Chronicles 17:23

21There is no other nation on earth like your people, Israel. We are the nation that you rescued so that we would belong to you. You did that to show that your name is great. You did great miracles as you rescued your people from Egypt. You chased out the nations who wanted to stop them. 22You chose Israel to be your own people for all time. You, Lord became our God. Lord, please do the things that you have promised to do for me, your servant, and for my family. Continue to do for ever what you have promised to do, 24so that people see your promises are true. Then people will always give honour to your great name. They will say, “The Lord Almighty is Israel's God.” And David's descendants will continue to serve you as kings. 25My God, you have made this promise to me, your servant. You have said that I will always have descendants who will rule. That is the house that you will build for me. Because you have said that, I was not afraid to pray to you.
