The parallel to this chapter is 2 Samuel 7. David started feeling bad because he had a luxurious palace but the things of God dwelt in a tent, so he started thinking about building a temple. God however spoke to David through the prophet Nathan telling him that rather than David building him a house, he would build for David a house and dynasty and establish his throne forever. David thus replied to the Lord in prayer:
Who am I to deserve this was the reaction of David. Hence David launches into a prayer of thanksgiving. David is so overjoyed and grateful that he exclaims: "There is no one like you Lord, and there is no God but you"! David then prayed that the promise of God would indeed be confirmed and that his house would be established forever.
