2 Sam 7:22–24

7:22–24 David is moved by consideration of his own unique status and that of his house (vv. 18–21) to contemplate the uniqueness of his God. He is the only true God, and in His unmerited favor He chose David, and the nation of Israel itself, to be the people through whom His great name would become known (Ex. 15:11–13; Deut. 7:6–8).
