Commentary on 1 Chronicles 17:25

Theological / Devotional

Hast told. If God had not Himself promised to establish David’s name and throne forever, David’s prayer would have been bold, presumptuous, and arrogant. The king’s prayer was an expression, not of his own will, but of God’s. Thus he was only praying that God’s will be done.
