2 Samuel 2:6

WEB

Now may the Lord show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.

KJV

And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.

Commentary

And now the Lord show kindness and truth unto you,.... Or true kindness; confer real favours, bestow upon you good and substantial blessings, blessings ind eed! and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing. He not only prayed to God to bless them and reward them for it, but would remember them himself, and at a proper opportunity would show favour to them for this act of kindness to Saul. De Dieu proposes to consideration whether it may not be as well interpreted to this sense, "and I also do you this kindness" because of it; that is, have done you this honour by sending messengers to you, to thank you for it, and by wishing a blessing upon you on account of it, and by praising and commending you for it; but the former sense seems best.
