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 can David say more to you? for you know your servant, Lord GOD.

21 For your word's sake, and according to your own heart, have you worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.

22 Therefore you are great, LORD God: for there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23 What one nation in the eretz is like your people, even like Yisra'el, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeem to you out of Mitzrayim, [from] the nations and their gods?

24 You did establish to yourself your people Yisra'el to be a people to you forever; and you, LORD, became their God.
