Exegesis
The construct ḥe-sed–Yə-hō-wāh {חֶסֶד־יְהוָ֑ה | ḥe-sěd Yə-hō-wāh} “loyal love of the LORD” serves as the object, linked by ašer {אֲשֶׁ֣ר | a-šer} to ʾaḥavtānî {אַהַבְתָּ֔נִי | ʾa-ḥav-tā-nî} “you have loved me,” providing the basis for the plea.

ḥ-s-dchet–samekh–dalet

In context — 1 Samuel 20:14
