1 Chronicles 17:22 In-Context

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.
22 You have made Israel your own people forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.
23 "And now, O Lord, fulfill for all time the promise you made about me and my descendants, and do what you said you would.
24 Your fame will be great, and people will forever say, "The Lord Almighty is God over Israel.' And you will preserve my dynasty for all time.
