SCRIPTURE

"And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of thy servant David shall be established before thee." — 2 Samuel 7:26 (ASV)

And let your name be magnified forever,—

Or, "be greatened"—be made great—"forever." Notice the way David returns to God the words that were addressed to himself. The Lord said to him, "I have made you a great name, like unto the name of the great that are in the earth;" so David replies, "Let your name be made great forever. You, Jehovah of hosts, are God over Israel; if you have made me king, and if my throne shall be established, much more shall yours."
