1 Chronicles 17:17 In-Context

15 So Nathan went back to David and told him everything the LORD had said in this vision.
16 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD and prayed, “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?
17 And now, O God, in addition to everything else, you speak of giving your servant a lasting dynasty! You speak as though I were someone very great, O LORD God!
18 “What more can I say to you about the way you have honored me? You know what your servant is really like.
19 For the sake of your servant, O LORD, and according to your will, you have done all these great things and have made them known.
