Context of 2 Samuel 7:17

15I removed my faithful love from Saul, and I removed him as king before you. But I will always continue to faithfully love your son. 16The kingdom that your descendants rule will continue for ever. Someone from your family will always be king.” ’ Nathan told David the whole message that God had shown to him. 18Then King David went into the Lord's tent. He sat down and he prayed to the Lord. He said, ‘Almighty Lord, I am not a special person and my family is not special. You have helped me very much and I do not deserve it. 19You have also made a promise about the descendants in my family, Almighty Lord. You have promised to help them in the future, as well as me. I am only a man but you have shown this to me, Almighty Lord.
