Contextual Overview

16Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD and said, "Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house and family that You have brought me this far? 17"This was a small thing in Your eyes, O God; but You have spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the standard and estate of a man of high degree (prominence), O LORD God. 18"What more can David say to You for the honor granted to Your servant? For You know Your servant. 19"O LORD, for Your servant's sake, and in accordance with Your own heart, You have accomplished all this greatness, to make known all these great things. 20"O LORD, there is no one like You, nor is there any God except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 21"And what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make a name for Yourself by great and awesome and terrible things, by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed out of Egypt? 22"You made Your people Israel Your own people forever, and You, LORD, became their God. 23"Therefore now, O LORD, let the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house endure forever, and do as You have said.24"Let Your name [and the character that it denotes] endure and be magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, yes, a God to Israel; and the house of Your servant David is established before You.' 25"For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build for him a house (descendants); therefore Your servant has found courage to pray before You.
