Commentary on 1 Chronicles 17:24

Theological / Devotional

Magnified. The thought is, “Let not only thy promise stand firm, but let thy name be established and magnified forever.” David was interested not only in having his own name and throne established, but in having the name of God glorified and His throne established forever. Man’s interests are wrapped up with God’s interests. God gave to David his throne and brought honor to him. To every nation and individual God has assigned a place in His great plan. All by their own choice are deciding their destiny.
