1 Chronicles 17:17
Hast regarded me ... - i. e., "Thou hast elevated me above other men, by making my kingdom perpetual, regarding me as if I were a man of high degree." Compare the II Samuel 7:19 note.
15 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
16 aThen King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: “Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?
17 And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O Lord God.
18 What more can David say to You for the honor of Your servant? For You know Your servant.
19 O Lord, for Your servant’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
