Now may the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness
This phrase is a blessing and a prayer for divine favor. The LORD, referred to here by the covenant name Yahweh, is invoked to bestow "loving devotion and faithfulness," which are key attributes of God's character (Exodus 34:6). The Hebrew terms "chesed" (loving devotion) and "emet" (faithfulness) often appear together in the Old Testament, emphasizing God's steadfast love and reliability. This reflects the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where God’s promises are assured. The invocation of these attributes suggests a desire for the recipients to experience God's covenantal blessings, similar to those promised to the patriarchs (Genesis 24:27).

and I will also show you the same favor
David, the speaker, commits to reciprocating the kindness shown to him. This reflects the biblical principle of reciprocity in relationships, as seen in the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12). David's promise to show "the same favor" aligns with the cultural and historical context of ancient Near Eastern covenants, where mutual loyalty and kindness were expected. This mirrors God's covenant with Israel, where blessings were contingent upon obedience and loyalty (Deuteronomy 28). David's actions foreshadow the New Testament teaching of grace and mercy, as exemplified by Jesus Christ (Luke 6:36).

because you have done this
The phrase refers to the actions of the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had shown loyalty to Saul by retrieving and burying his body (1 Samuel 31:11-13). This act of loyalty and respect for the deceased king was significant in the cultural context of the time, where proper burial was a matter of honor. David acknowledges their deed, which aligns with the biblical theme of honoring those who have served faithfully (1 Timothy 5:17). This acknowledgment also serves as a political move, as David seeks to unify the kingdom under his rule by recognizing and rewarding loyalty, thus setting a precedent for his reign.

What Does 2 Samuel 2:6 Mean
Now may the LORD

David begins with a blessing, turning first to the covenant-keeping LORD rather than to himself. Just as the priestly benediction inNumbers 6:24-26 invokes divine favor, David recognizes that every good gift flows from God (James 1:17). The context—speaking to the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul with honor—sets a tone of respect for God-ordained authority, echoingRomans 13:1’s call to honor those God places over us.

show you loving devotion

“Loving devotion” highlights God’s loyal, covenant love, the same steadfast kindness Ruth sought inRuth 1:8 and the psalmist celebrated inPsalm 36:5. David prays that the men will taste this personal, protective affection—love that never wavers, even when human leaders fail.

and faithfulness

Paired with loving devotion, faithfulness underscores God’s unwavering reliability (Psalm 25:10;Lamentations 3:22-23). David asks that the LORD’s consistent goodness guard these men, illustrating2 Timothy 2:13’s truth that God “remains faithful” even when others do not.

and I will also show you the same favor

David commits himself to mirror God’s kindness. His promise anticipates Jesus’ teaching inLuke 6:36 to “be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” It also fulfills the principle ofProverbs 3:3-4: when kindness and truth mark our dealings, we “find favor and high regard.” David’s pledge points forward to his later generosity toward Saul’s household (2 Samuel 9).

because you have done this

Their courageous act—risking danger to honor Saul—earns tangible reward. Scripture repeatedly ties blessing to obedient deeds: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” (Matthew 5:7). By honoring the fallen king, these men respected God’s anointed (1 Samuel 24:6), and David affirms that such righteousness never escapes God’s notice (Hebrews 6:10).

summary

David’s short blessing weaves together a rich tapestry: he calls on the LORD to extend covenant love and steadfast faithfulness, pledges to imitate that kindness himself, and grounds the whole request in the men’s honorable action. The verse reminds us that God delights to pour out loyal love and reliability on those who act uprightly, and it challenges us to reflect that same faithful kindness in our own relationships.

(6)I also will requite you.--David's message of kindness and blessing is quite in accordance with his whole bearing towards Saul and his house, and. at the same time, was one of wise policy. The literal rendering is,I also show you this good,the Hebrew not conveying directly the idea of future recompense, as in the English. The thought is that David, as now the rightful king of Israel, appreciates the act, and wishes to show publicly his favour to the men of Jabesh-gilead. He then, in the following verse, suggests the propriety of their now recognising him as the successor of their lost monarch and friend.
