On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead--There can be no doubt that this message of thanks for their bold and dangerous enterprise in rescuing the bodies of Saul and his sons was an expression of David's personal and genuine feeling of satisfaction. At the same time, it was a stroke of sound and timely policy.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

), that is, kindness according to the promise. What kindness God shows is in truth, what one may trust to. He promises to make them amends for it: I also will requite you.
