1 Chronicles 17:23-24 King James Version (KJV)
23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
24 Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
1 Chronicles 17:23-24 Common English Bible (CEB)
23 Now, LORD, confirm forever the promise you have made about your servant and his dynasty. Do as you have promised 24 so that it may be established and so that your name may be made great forever when people say, “The LORD of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, is Israel’s God.” May your servant David’s household be established before you.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
23 David sees the promise as a blessing and not something he deserves. David also knows that the Lord keeps all His promises. David knows His place and the place of the Lord even though he is king he knows the Lord is in control and has the true power.
24 David knew that by keeping His promise the Lord’s name would continue to be praised and that ultimately would not bring David honor but the Lord. When the Lord promises us something while it is for us it should bring Him praise.
