11. He promises him blessings and benefits in his seed
16. David's prayer and thanksgiving














(25) O my God.--Samuel: "Jehovah Sabaoth, God of Israel."

Hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house.--Literally, hast uncovered the ear of Thy servant, to build him a house. Samuel has the more usual construction: "saying, A house I will build thee." (Comp. 1Samuel 9:15.)

Hath found in his heart.--Rather, hath found his heart--i.e., hath taken courage. The noun is expressed in Samuel. As to its omission here, comp. 1Chronicles 14:1. The phrase is unique in Hebrew.

To pray.--Samuel adds, "this prayer."
