2 Samuel 7:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 7:22

Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God
In his name, nature, persons, and perfections, purposes, promises, and works:

for [there is] none like thee;
for his essence and attributes, for his greatness and goodness, for what he is in himself, for what he is to his people, and has done for them:

neither [is there any] God beside thee;
there is but one God, the living and true God, the former and maker of all things; all others are but fictitious and factitious gods, see ( 1 Samuel 2:2 ) ;

according to all that we have heard with our ears;
concerning what he did in the land of Egypt upon the Egyptians, and in the wilderness, in favour of the Israelites, and in the land of Canaan, by driving out the inhabitants before the people of Israel, and in the times of the judges, in raising them up to deliver his people.

2 Samuel 7:22 In-Context

20 What more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD.

21 For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed it to Your servant.

22 How great You are, O Lord GOD! For there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.

23 And 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 Himself? You performed great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before Your people, whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt.

24 For You have established Your people Israel as Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.
