Exegesis
A second predicate follows with yehav-leh {יְהַב־לֵ֔הּ | yəhav-lēh} ‘he gave to him’, whose object is expanded by umatnan {וּמַתְּנָ֨ן | û-mattənān} ‘and gifts’ and intensified through the stacked adjectives rabrevan {רַבְרְבָ֤ן | rabrəvān} ‘great’ and saggian {שַׂגִּיאָן֙ | śaggiʾān} ‘many’, emphasizing both value and quantity.
