Context of 1 Chronicles 17:18
16And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far? 17And yet this was a small thing in thy eyes, O God; for thou hast also 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. What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant. 19O LORD, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thy own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. 20O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
