Exegesis
The causal kî-rabbîm raḥămāw məʾōḏ {כִּי־רַבִּים רַחֲמָיו מְאֹד | kî-rabbîm raḥămāw məʾōḏ} places the predicate adjective first (“great”) to emphasize the reason for his choice, grounding it in the abundance of YHWH’s compassion.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:13
And David said to Gad, “I am greatly distressed; please let me fall into the hand of the LORD , for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
