Exegesis
The participle hamekabbed david {הַֽמְכַבֵּ֨ד דָּוִ֤יד | haməḵabbēḏ & Dāwîḏ} frames a skeptical question about David’s motives.
In context — 1 Chronicles 19:3
And the commanders of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, “Is David truly honoring your father in your eyes because he has sent comforters to you? Is it not rather for the purpose of searching, overthrowing, and spying out the land that his servants have come to you?”
