2 Samuel 7:24 In-Context

22 That is why you are so great, LORD God! No one can compare to you, no god except you, just as we have always heard with our own ears.
23 And who can compare to your people Israel? They are the one nation on earth that God redeemed as his own people, establishing his name by doing great and awesome things for them, by driving out nations and their gods before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt.
24 You established your people Israel as your own people forever, and you, LORD, became their God.
25 Now, LORD God, confirm forever the promise you have made about your servant and his dynasty. Do just as you have promised
26 so that your name will be great forever when people say, "The LORD of heavenly forces is Israel's God!" May your servant David's household be established before you,
