2 Samuel 7:19

17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

David’s Thanksgiving to God

18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord; and he said: ^a“Who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

19 And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. ^aIs this the manner of man, O Lord God?

20 Now what more can David say to You? For You, Lord God, ^aknow Your servant.

21 For Your word’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all these great things, to make Your servant know them.

22 Therefore ^aYou are great, O Lord God. For ^bthere is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ^cears.

2 Samuel 7:19

And is this the manner of man - Literally: And this, O Lord God, is the law of Adam. Does he refer to the promise made to Adam, The seed of the woman shall bruise the head of the serpent? From my line shall the Messiah spring, and be the spiritual and triumphant King, for ever and ever. See the additions at the end, II Samuel 7:25 (note).
