See Gill "1 Chronicles 17:1".

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 17:24

Or, The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is a God to Israel, i.e. he is really to his people that which he hath styled himself, their God, having taken such care of them, and showed such mercy and truth to them, as did fully answer that title.

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 17:24

(24) Let it even be established.—“Yea, let it be assured.” This repetition is wanting in Samuel. The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel . . .—“Jehovah Sabaoth, God of Israel, is God to Israel.” “God of Israel” is not read here in Samuel, but in the next verse. And let the house of David . . . be established.—“Let be” is wanting in the Hebrew, and the sentence might be taken as part of what men are to say hereafter in praise of God: “The house of David thy servant is established before thee.” Samuel, however, inserts the verb “let it become,” or “shall become.”

Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 17:24

24. Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified] Render with R.V. mg. Yea, let it be established, and let thy name be magnified.

Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 17:24

Some 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.
