Context of 1 Chronicles 17:16

14But I will settle him in My house and in My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”’” 15According to all these words and according to all of this vision, so Nathan spoke to David. Then King David came in and sat before the Lord, and said, “Who am I, Lord God, and what is my house that You have brought me this far? 17This was a small thing in Your eyes, God; but You have spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have viewed me according to the standard of a person of high degree, Lord God. 18What more can David still say to You concerning the honor bestowed on Your servant? For You know Your servant.
