1 Chronicles 17:17


1 Chronicles 17:16 1 Chronicles 17:17 (KJV) 1 Chronicles 17:18
And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who [am] I, O LORD God, and what [is] mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
And [yet] this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast [also] spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.
What can David [speak] more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
