91 David asked, "Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
91 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
91 And David said, "Is there still anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
91 One day David asked, "Is there anyone left of Saul's family? If so, I'd like to show him some kindness in honor of Jonathan."
91 Now David said, "Is there still anyone who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
91 One day David asked, "Is anyone in Saul's family still alive-anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 9:1
Commentary on 2 Samuel 9:1-8
(Read 2 Samuel 9:1-8)
Amidst numerous affairs we are apt to forget the gratitude we owe, and the engagements we are under, not only to our friends, but to God himself. Yet persons of real godliness will have no rest till they have discharged them. And the most proper objects of kindness and charity, frequently will not be found without inquiry. Jonathan was David's sworn friend, therefore he shows kindness to his son Mephibosheth. God is faithful to us; let us not be unfaithful to one another. If Providence has raised us, and our friends and their families are brought low, we must look upon that as giving us the fairer opportunity of being kind to them.
