they showed gracious favor

Morphological Notes	Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person common plural. Denotes a completed action performed by "they."
Rendering Rationale	The root חנן conveys the act of bending or stooping in kindness toward another, extending grace or favor. The Qal perfect 3rd common plural form is reflected by "they showed," indicating a completed action by a plural subject, while "gracious favor" preserves the core sense of merciful, benevolent condescension inherent in the root.
