1 CHRONICLES 17:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1
“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?”
'And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem as a people for himself, and to make for himself a name, and to do for them great and awesome things by driving out nations before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt?' — David celebrates Israel's election and redemption. Hebrew 'gaal' (redeemed) twice emphasizes covenant purchase. Exodus and conquest demonstrate God's 'shem' (name/renown).
