Verse 25 is found in chapter 17 of 1 Chronicles. David responds to the promise with a prayer of humility and gratitude. He recognizes that God has chosen Israel and that no human greatness explains his position. Instead of trying to claim the promise for himself, David asks God to confirm his word. The prayer shows an appropriate response to grace: receive, give thanks, and trust.
