1 Chronicles 17:19 In-Context

17 Yet now you are doing even more; you have made promises about my descendants in the years to come, and you, Lord God, are already treating me like someone great.
18 What more can I say to you! You know me well, and yet you honor me, your servant.
19 It was your will and purpose to do this for me and to show me my future greatness.
20 Lord, there is none like you; we have always known that you alone are God.
21 There is no other nation on earth like Israel, whom you rescued from slavery to make them your own people. The great and wonderful things you did for them spread your fame throughout the world. You rescued your people from Egypt and drove out other nations as your people advanced.
