God is classically defined as a benevolent being, so...? 

Of course, one can ask why one would suppose God to be benevolent, this is a difficult issue that probably requires an appeal to revelation.
-and whatever benevolent is, is whatever god is doing.  Like drowning bitches or glassing cities.

Subjective, objective are nothing but labels, remember? But sure, if you define subjective morality as any moral system ordained by a subject, then yeah God's commands are subjective by definition. But God, being God, can assess moral facts better than anything else, again, by the very definition of the word God. 

If you don't like the word objective, let's just say that a moral system ordained by God is the best subjective moral system possible, by definition. That's enough, I think.

Correct, terms are labels.  And the label that accurately corresponds to the morality you subscribe to and advocate for..is subjective.  I have absolutely no problem with the term objective, or objective moralities.  I am, myself, a moral objectivist.  You, as a moral subjectivist, are the one with a problem with such terms and labels.  You don't think morality is objective.  You don't think there is such a thing as right or wrong in fact.  You think there are things that gods do, and things they tell us not to do.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
