For Thou knowest,\" etc.\nSome prefer, \"And let Thy name be established and magnified forever:\" i. e., \"Let not only Thy promise stand firm, but let Thy Name also stand firm (continue to be held in honor) and be magnified,\" etc.\nThe marginal rendering is preferable.","title":"Notes on the Bible by Albert Barnes: 1 Chronicles: 1 Chronicles Chapter 17","type":"page"}
