He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
The verse belongs to the history of Israel and to a record given to help readers appreciate divine goodness, mercy, and love. After rebellion brought Israel under the rule of other nations, God heard their distress and remembered His covenant toward them. In loving-kindness He then caused those who carried them captive to pity them.
That pity shown by captors reveals the goodness, mercy, and love of God toward His children. It was God Himself who moved their oppressors to compassion.
This record, together with Psalms 105 and 107, is to be carefully heeded by all who claim to be children of God. They are to learn from it the necessity of appreciating the goodness, mercy, and love of God.
