loved David.
Ge 29:18,20; 34:3; Jdg 16:4,15; 2Sa 13:1; 1Ki 11:1,2; Ho 3:2pleased him.
Heb. was right in his eyes.
 The daughters of Israel, the people, and Saul’s servants love David for his deliverances. Even Saul, at a given moment (1 Sam. 16:21), “loved [David] greatly,” because of the relief that he brings him in his sufferings. Michal loves David according to nature - which does not hinder her from despising him later on (2 Sam. 6:16). Lastly, Jonathan loves him with the only love which is true, good, and enduring; he loves him as his own soul; he cherishes him for what David is in himself. (1 Samuel 18 by H.L. Rossier)
