Context of 1 Chronicles 17:21
19Lord, for Your servant’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished all this greatness, to make known all these great things. 20Lord, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to everything that we have heard with our ears. And what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for You a name by great and awesome things, by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt? 22For You have made Your people Israel Your own people forever, and You, Lord, became their God. 23“Now, Lord, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house be established forever, and do just as You have spoken.
