← 1 Chronicles 17:21	1 Chronicles 17:22 (KJV)	1 Chronicles 17:23 →
And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem [to be] his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?	For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.	Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
