In biblical context, a name represents one's character and authority. God's name being "established" signifies His unchanging nature and sovereign rule. The idea of God's name being "magnified" reflects the worship and reverence due to Him. This connects to the Lord's Prayer in <a href="/matthew/6-9.htm">Matthew 6:9</a>, where Jesus teaches to hallow God's name. The eternal aspect is echoed in <a href="/psalms/72-17.htm">Psalm 72:17</a>, which speaks of God's name enduring forever.when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.’ "The LORD of Hosts" is a title that underscores God's supreme command over the heavenly armies, indicating His power and authority. This title is frequently used in the prophetic books, such as Isaiah and Jeremiah, to convey God's might in delivering and protecting His people. "The God of Israel" highlights the covenant relationship between God and the nation of Israel, as seen in <a href="/exodus/3-15.htm">Exodus 3:15</a>. The declaration that He "is God over Israel" reaffirms His sovereignty and the fulfillment of His promises to the patriarchs, such as in <a href="/genesis/17-7.htm">Genesis 17:7</a>.And may the house of Your servant David be established before You. This phrase refers to the Davidic Covenant, where God promises David that his lineage will endure forever, as seen in <a href="/2_samuel/7-16.htm">2 Samuel 7:16</a>. The "house" of David signifies his dynasty, which is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the Son of David, whose kingdom is eternal (<a href="/luke/1-32.htm">Luke 1:32-33</a>). The term "before You" indicates God's presence and favor, suggesting that David's lineage will have divine approval and oversight. This covenant is a cornerstone of messianic prophecy, pointing to Christ's eternal reign.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a> The second king of Israel, chosen by God to lead His people.
