1 Chronicles 17:16 Context
14But I will settle him in mine house, and in my kingdom for euer, and his throne shall bee established for euermore. 15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speake vnto Dauid. 16¶ And Dauid the king came, and sate before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought mee hitherto? 17And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God: for thou hast also spoken of thy seruants house, for a great while to come, and hast regarded mee according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Lord God. 18What can Dauid speake more to thee for the honour of thy seruant? for thou knowest thy seruant.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Chronicles 17:16
17:16 Who am I, &c. - We have here David's solemn address to God,in answer to his gracious message. How humbly does he here abase himself,and acknowledge his own unworthiness! How highly does he advance the nameof God, and admire his condescending favour? With what devout affectionsdoes he magnify the God of Israel: with what assurance build upon thepromise! What an example is this of believing, fervent prayer!The Lord enable us all thus to seek him!
