(18) Samuel has the omitted speak. (Comp. Psa. 120:3.) The word translated for the honour, may be a corruption of that for to speak.
Of thy servant?The Hebrew term is in the accusative case, and should be omitted as a mistaken repetition of the same word at the end of the verse.

1Ch 17:18-19. For the honour of thy servant The honour God puts upon his servants, by taking them into covenant and communion with himself, is so great, that they need not, they cannot desire to be more highly honoured. Servants sake In 2Sa 7:21, it is, for thy words sake, for the sake of thy promise made to thy servant.
