Context of 2 Samuel 7:22
20I am your servant, Almighty Lord, and you know me completely. There is nothing more that I can say. 21Because of your covenant you have chosen to do all these great things. You have told me, your servant, what you promise to do. Almighty Lord, you are very great. There is nobody like you. You alone are God. What we have heard about you is true! 23There is no other nation on earth like your people, Israel. We are the only nation that you have rescued so that we would belong to you. You did that to show that your name is great. You did great miracles to rescue your people from Egypt where they were slaves. Then you chased out other nations and their gods from the land that you were giving to your people. 24You chose Israel to be your own people for all time. You, Lord, became our God.
