(22) For thy people Israel . . .--Literally, And Thou gavest (Samuel, confirmedst it) Thy people Israel unto Thyself for a people. Our reading is probably a result of partial obliteration.

And thou, Lord . . .--Literally, and Thou, Jehovah, becamest unto them for a God. (See Genesis 17:7-8; Genesis 28:21; Exodus 6:3; Exodus 6:7.)

Verse 22. - Didst thou make. This appears in Samuel, "Thou didst confirm."
