16. David's prayer and thanksgiving














(24) Let it even be established.--"Yea, let it be assured." This repetition is wanting in Samuel.

The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel . . .--"Jehovah Sabaoth, God of Israel, is God to Israel." "God of Israel" is not read here in Samuel, but in the next verse.

And let the house of David . . . be established.--"Let be" is wanting in the Hebrew, and the sentence might be taken as part of what men are to say hereafter in praise of God: "The house of David thy servant is established before thee." Samuel, however, inserts the verb "let it become," or "shall become."

Verse 24. - The Hebrew text reads here naturally enough, And let be established and magnified for ever thy Name. The "established" in the last clause of the verse is not the same word with that used here.
