Ezekiel 20:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Ezekiel 20:9
'But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.' Despite Israel's rebellion (verse 8), God delivered them 'for my name's sake.' God's reputation among nations was at stake. Having publicly revealed Himself, failure to deliver would suggest weakness or unfaithfulness. God's glory motivates His actions even when His people are unfaithful.
