And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
God greatly multiplied Israel while in Egypt and made the people stronger than their enemies. That multiplication was part of faithfulness to the covenant. It was also care for His people.
The increase displays goodness and mercy and love, which are to be appreciated. It belongs to the record in Psalms 105, 106, and 107 that all who claim to be children of God should read carefully. Its testimony is to be appropriated to individual experience and personally claimed in perplexity and discouragement. So claimed, by thanking the Lord for His Word as a stronghold and taking God at His word without distrust, it makes faith increase rather than diminish.
