1 Chronicles 17:17 In-Context

15 Nathan told David everything that God had revealed to him.
16 Then King David went into the Tent of the Lord's presence, sat down, and prayed, "I am not worthy of what you have already done for me, Lord God, nor is my family.
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.
