“And now the Lord shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.”
And now may the LORD show steadfast love and faithfulness to you — David's blessing is formal and covenant-grounded. By honoring Saul in death, Jabesh-gilead honored God's anointed. David's response promises that he too will reward loyal conduct, positioning himself as mediator of God's blessing.
