2 Samuel 7:20 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 7:20

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.
