Context of 1 Chronicles 17:21
19O Yhwh, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. 20O Yhwh, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? 22For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Yhwh, becamest their God. 23Therefore now, Yhwh, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
