In the ancient Near Eastern context, nations often had their own deities, but Israel was distinct in being chosen by the one true God. This echoes <a href="/deuteronomy/7-6.htm">Deuteronomy 7:6</a>, where Israel is described as a holy people chosen by God. The rhetorical question emphasizes Israel's special relationship with God, setting them apart from other nations.the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself? This refers to the Exodus, where God delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt, as recounted in the book of Exodus. The concept of redemption is central to Israel's identity, symbolizing God's intervention and covenant relationship. This act of redemption prefigures the ultimate redemption through Jesus Christ, as seen in the New Testament, where believers are redeemed from sin.You made a name for Yourself through great and awesome wonders The "great and awesome wonders" refer to the miraculous events during the Exodus, such as the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, and the provision in the wilderness. These acts demonstrated God's power and established His reputation among the nations. This theme is echoed in <a href="/psalms/106-8.htm">Psalm 106:8</a>, where God's deeds are said to make His mighty power known.by driving out nations from before Your people, This phrase refers to the conquest of Canaan, where God enabled Israel to defeat and displace the existing inhabitants. This was part of fulfilling the promise to Abraham regarding the land (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>). The driving out of nations also serves as a type of spiritual victory over sin and evil, pointing to the ultimate triumph in Christ.whom You redeemed from Egypt. The redemption from Egypt is a foundational event in Israel's history, symbolizing liberation and the establishment of a covenant relationship with God.

(Comp. <a href="/numbers/23-9.htm" title="For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: see, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.">Numbers 23:9</a>.)Nation (goy)--i.e., race; a people considered as united by common blood, speech, country.People ('?m)--i.e., a political community, social union, or state, owning one sovereign.Whom God went . . .--Literally, which God went (marched) to redeem to Himself as a people. Samuel has "which gods went."To make thee a name.--That is, for Thyself, God. Samuel has "for him," in the same sense.A name of greatness and terribleness.--Both nouns are plural, and imply renown for great and terrible deeds.By driving.--To drive; parallel with "to redeem "and "to make."Nations.--Samuel adds, "and his gods." The text of this verse in Samuel is corrupt (comp. the LXX.), and perhaps the added phrase is spurious. But, on the other hand, the chronicler may have omitted it because, like Isaiah, he regarded the heathen deities as non-entities. In earlier times, foreign gods were spoken of as real beings, subordinate to Jehovah. (Comp. the LXX. rendering of <a href="/deuteronomy/32-8.htm" title="When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.">Deuteronomy 32:8</a>.) . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/17.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 21. - In the parallel verse (<a href="/2_samuel/7-23.htm">2 Samuel 7:23</a>), our Authorized Version, following the Hebrew text (לְכֶם), reads, "To do for you great things and terrible." The transition is awkward, no way in harmony with the other short clauses of the passage, and it would be inexplicable except for the alternative open to us, of regarding it as a quotation from <a href="/deuteronomy/4-34.htm">Deuteronomy 4:34</a>, brought in regardless of the context into which it was introduced. The difficulty does not meet us in our present passage, being obviated by the other sentences of our compiler. Both places, however, manifestly quote from the Book of Deuteronomy, with the grand passages and grand verbiage of which we may well imagine David familiar. A similar familiarity is also betokened in the following verses, as regard other Pentateuchal passages. <a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/17-21.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>And who וּמִי֙ (ū·mî) Conjunctive waw | Interrogative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4310.htm">Strong's 4310: </a> Who?, whoever, in oblique construction with prefix, suffix is like Your people כְּעַמְּךָ֣ (kə·‘am·mə·ḵā) Preposition-k | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock Israel— יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc the one אֶחָ֖ד (’e·ḥāḏ) Number - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_259.htm">Strong's 259: </a> United, one, first nation גּ֥וֹי (gō·w) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1471.htm">Strong's 1471: </a> A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locusts on earth בָּאָ֑רֶץ (bā·’ā·reṣ) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land whom אֲשֶׁר֩ (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that God הָאֱלֹהִ֜ים (hā·’ĕ·lō·hîm) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative went out הָלַ֨ךְ (hā·laḵ) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1980.htm">Strong's 1980: </a> To go, come, walk to redeem לִפְדּ֧וֹת (lip̄·dō·wṯ) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6299.htm">Strong's 6299: </a> To sever, ransom, gener, to release, preserve as a people עָ֗ם (‘ām) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock for Himself, ל֣וֹ (lōw) Preposition | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> to make לָשׂ֤וּם (lā·śūm) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7760.htm">Strong's 7760: </a> Put -- to put, place, set a name שֵׁ֚ם (m) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8034.htm">Strong's 8034: </a> A name for Yourself לְךָ֙ (lə·ḵā) Preposition | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> through great גְּדֻלּ֣וֹת (gə·ḏul·lō·wṯ) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1420.htm">Strong's 1420: </a> Greatness, mighty acts and awesome wonders וְנֹרָא֔וֹת (wə·nō·rā·’ō·wṯ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Nifal - Participle - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3372.htm">Strong's 3372: </a> To fear, to revere, caus, to frighten by driving out לְגָרֵ֗שׁ (lə·ḡā·rêš) Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1644.htm">Strong's 1644: </a> To drive out from a, possession, to expatriate, divorce nations גּוֹיִֽם׃ (gō·w·yim) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1471.htm">Strong's 1471: </a> A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locusts from before מִפְּנֵ֧י (mip·pə·nê) Preposition-m | Noun - common plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> The face Your people, עַמְּךָ֛ (‘am·mə·ḵā) Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock whom אֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that You redeemed פָּדִ֥יתָ (pā·ḏî·ṯā) Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6299.htm">Strong's 6299: </a> To sever, ransom, gener, to release, preserve from Egypt?
