Exegesis
Double emphasis on divine identity appears in the titles YHWH Tseva’ôt {יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאוֹת֙ | Yə-hō-wāh tse-vā-’ôt} and ʾĕlohê Yisra’ēl {אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל | ʾĕ-lō-hê Yiś-rā-’ēl}.
In context — 1 Chronicles 17:24
And let it be established, and may Your name become great forever, saying, “The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, a God to Israel.” And the house of David your servant will be established before You.
