1 Chronicles 17:22 In-Context

20 “There is no one like you, LORD, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.
21 And who is like your people Israel—the one nation on earth whose God went out to redeem a people for himself, and to make a name for yourself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt?
22 You made your people Israel your very own forever, and you, LORD, have become their God.
23 “And now, LORD, let the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house be established forever. Do as you promised,
24 so that it will be established and that your name will be great forever. Then people will say, ‘The LORD Almighty, the God over Israel, is Israel’s God!’ And the house of your servant David will be established before you.
