Context of 1 Chronicles 17:21
19Adonai, for the sake of Your servant and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to reveal all Your greatness. 20“Adonai, there is none like You and there is no other god besides You, as we have heard with our own ears. And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself and to make a Name for Yourself by great and awesome deeds, by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt? 22You made Your people Israel Your own people forever, and You, Adonai, became their God. 23“Now, Adonai, may the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be confirmed forever. Do as You have spoken
