2 Samuel 7:24 In-Context

22 "This is what makes you so great, Master God! There is none like you, no God but you, nothing to compare with what we've heard with our own ears.

23 And who is like your people, like Israel, a nation unique in the earth, whom God set out to redeem for himself (and became most famous for it), performing great and fearsome acts, throwing out nations and their gods left and right as you saved your people from Egypt?

24 You established for yourself a people - your very own Israel! - your people permanently. And you, God, became their God.

25 "So now, great God, this word that you have spoken to me and my family, guarantee it permanently! Do exactly what you've promised!

26 Then your reputation will flourish always as people exclaim, 'The God-of-the-Angel-Armies is God over Israel!' And the house of your servant David will remain sure and solid in your watchful presence.
