Context of 1 Chronicles 17:16
14but I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for ever. 15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. Then David the king went in, and sat before the LORD; and he said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far? 17And this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; but thou hast spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God. 18What can David say yet more unto thee concerning the honour which is done to thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
