2 Samuel 7:24 In-Context

22 Therefore you are great, O Lord God; for there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23 Who is like your people, like Israel? Is there another nation on earth whose God went to redeem it as a people, and to make a name for himself, doing great and awesome things for them, by driving out before his people nations and their gods?

24 And you established your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, O Lord, became their God.

25 And now, O Lord God, as for the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, confirm it forever; do as you have promised.

26 Thus your name will be magnified forever in the saying, "The Lord of hosts is God over Israel'; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.
