1 CHRONICLES 17:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.”
'Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, "The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel"; and the house of your servant David shall be established before you' — David's ultimate concern is God's honor. Hebrew 'shem' (name) refers to God's reputation; magnification becomes prayer's object. Dynasty's establishment serves God's glory.
