Context
17:21 And who is like your people, Israel, a unique nation 1  in the earth? Their God 2  went to claim 3  a nation for himself!

1 Chronicles 22:5

Context

22:5 David said, “My son Solomon is just an inexperienced young man, 7  and the temple to be built for the Lord must be especially magnificent so it will become famous and be considered splendid by all the nations. 8  Therefore I will make preparations for its construction.” So David made extensive preparations before he died.

1 tn Heb “a nation, one.”

2 tn Heb “whose God,” or “because God.” In the Hebrew text this clause is subordinated to what precedes. The clauses are separated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

3 tn Heb “redeem” or “deliver.”

4 tn Heb “to make for yourself a name [with] great and awesome [deeds].”

5 tn Heb “to drive out.”

6 tn Heb “from Egypt, nations.” The parallel text in 2 Sam 7:23 reads “from Egypt, nations and its gods.”

7 tn Heb “a young man and tender.”

8 tn Heb “and the house to build to make exceedingly great for a name and for splendor for all the lands.”
