2 Samuel 7:18 in context

The verses around it, from 2 Samuel 7.

14 I will be his Father, and he will be My son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.

15 But My loving devotion will never be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I moved out of your way.

16 Your house and kingdom will endure forever before Me, and your throne will be established forever.”

17 So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.

18 Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

19 And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O Lord GOD, You have also spoken about the future of the house of Your servant. Is this Your custom with man, O Lord GOD?

20 What more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD.

21 For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed it to Your servant.

22 How great You are, O Lord GOD! For there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.
