Context of 1 Chronicles 17:23

21And 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. “Now, Adonai, may the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be confirmed forever. Do as You have spoken 24so that it might be established and Your Name might be magnified forever, saying, ‘Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God.’ Then the house of David Your servant will be established before You. 25“You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build a house for him. So Your servant has found courage to pray before You.
