A King's Humble Response

Commentators highlight that King David's immediate reaction to God's immense promises was not pride, but profound humility. He went into the tent where the Ark was, sat before God, and expressed his astonishment, asking, "Who am I, O Jehovah God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?" This serves as a powerful model for believers to respond to God's grace with humility and awe, recognizing that all blessings come from Him.
