Verse 27 is found in chapter 7 of 2 Samuel. David asks God to maintain his word concerning his house and his people. His request does not attempt to modify the promise, but asks the Lord to do according to what he has spoken. The king bases his prayer on divine faithfulness and ends by asking for blessing so that David’s house may remain before God. The section shows how a divine promise becomes a legitimate foundation for prayer and hope.
