This is a special act of God’s favour to his afflicted people, to give them any favour in the eyes of them that do afflict them; Psa_106:46,
He made them to be pitied of those that carried them captive. This is the effect of sincere holiness and innocence, Pro_16:7. This is the effect of prayer, 1Ki_8:50. This is the effect of the special presence of God, Gen_39:3,4,21.
