Text -- 1 Chronicles 17:21 (NET)

17:21 And who is like your people, Israel, a unique nation in the earth? Their God went to claim a nation for himself! You made a name for yourself by doing great and awesome deeds when you drove out nations before your people whom you had delivered from the Egyptian empire and its gods.

NET Notes: 1Ch 17:21

¹ tn Heb “a nation, one.”

² tn Heb “whose God,” or “because God.” In the Hebrew text this clause is subordinated to what precedes. The clauses are separated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

³ tn Heb “redeem” or “deliver.”

⁴ tn Heb “to make for yourself a name [with] great and awesome [deeds].”

⁵ tn Heb “to drive out.”

⁶ tn Heb “from Egypt, nations.” The parallel text in 2 Sam 7:23 reads “from Egypt, nations and its gods.”
