The title "LORD" (YHWH) is the sacred name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature. "God of Israel" highlights His special relationship with the nation of Israel, chosen to be His people. This invocation is a reminder of God's faithfulness and His historical acts of deliverance and provision for Israel, as seen throughout the Old Testament.<p><b>please confirm what You promised</b><br>This request for confirmation is rooted in the biblical concept of God's promises being sure and trustworthy. The plea for confirmation reflects a deep faith in God's word and His ability to fulfill His promises. It also underscores the importance of divine promises in the life of Israel, as they are central to the nation's identity and future. The request is not for a new promise but for the fulfillment of an existing one, showing reliance on God's faithfulness.<p><b>to Your servant David</b><br>David is a central figure in the biblical narrative, known as a man after God's own heart. The promise referred to here is the Davidic Covenant, found in <a href="/2_samuel/7.htm">2 Samuel 7</a>, where God promises David that his descendants will rule Israel forever. This covenant is foundational for the messianic hope in Israel, as it points to the coming of a future king from David's line, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. David's role as a servant highlights his humility and dedication to God's will, serving as a model for leadership and faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>The son of King David and Bathsheba, Solomon is the king of Israel who built the temple in Jerusalem.
