Verse 3
And the king said, is there not yet any of the house of Saul ; that is, remaining or living:
that I may show the kindness of God unto him ? great 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, 1 Samuel 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 2 Samuel 4:4 .
