2 Samuel 7:20 — Meaning and Application

Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who {am} I, O Lord GOD? and what {is} my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And {is} this the manner of man, O Lord GOD? {manner: Heb. law}

And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant.

For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know {them}.

Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for {there is} none like thee, neither {is there any} God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
