kindness, some large favour or benefit; for the word God added to things, as to trees, mountains, &c. serves to set forth the excellency of them; and this kindness is in imitation of God, or such as he had sworn in the presence of God to show; and that is expressed in the same language, Sa1 20:14 , and Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son; a son still living: which is lame on his feet; on both his feet, as the Targum; of which occasion; see Gill on Sa2 4:4 .
