Exegesis
The demonstrative zeh {זֶה | zeh} ‘this’ is fronted to focus on chasdecha re’ekha {חַסְדְּךָ רֵעֶךָ | ḥas·de·kha re·ʿe·kha} ‘your kindness to your friend.’
The repetition of re’ekha {רֵעֶךָ | re·ʿe·kha} at the end mirrors Hebrew parallelism and reinforces the relational bond.
In context — 2 Samuel 16:17
And Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your kindness to your friend ? Why did you not go with your friend?”
