Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) Be of good courage.--The same verb was rendered "be strong" in 1Chronicles 19:12.Let us behave ourselves valiantly.--The same verb again, in reflexive form. Thus the whole runs literally: Be strong, and let us shew ourselves strong!And let the Lord do . . .--Literally, And Jehovah--the good in his own eyes may he do! The order in the Hebrew of Samuel is that of the Authorised Version here. The chronicler lays stress on the auspicious word "good." There is also emphasis on "Jehovah," as leaving the issue in His hands who is Lord of hosts and God of battles; and on the verb, expressive of a pious wish that right may not miscarry. Evidently the spirit which inspired the prayer, "Thy will be done," was not unknown to the warriors of the old theocracy.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewBe strongחֲזַ֤ק (ḥă·zaq)Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singularStrong's 2388: To fasten upon, to seize, be strong, obstinate, to bind, restrain, conquerand let us fight bravelyוְנִֽתְחַזְּקָה֙ (wə·niṯ·ḥaz·zə·qāh)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hitpael - Conjunctive imperfect Cohortative - first person common pluralStrong's 2388: To fasten upon, to seize, be strong, obstinate, to bind, restrain, conquerforבְּעַד־ (bə·‘aḏ-)PrepositionStrong's 1157: In up to, over against, at, beside, among, behind, forour peopleעַמֵּ֔נוּ (‘am·mê·nū)Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common pluralStrong's 5971: A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flockand forוּבְעַ֖ד (ū·ḇə·‘aḏ)Conjunctive waw | PrepositionStrong's 1157: In up to, over against, at, beside, among, behind, forthe citiesעָרֵ֣י (‘ā·rê)Noun - feminine plural constructStrong's 5892: Excitementof our God.אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ (’ĕ·lō·hê·nū)Noun - masculine plural construct | first person common pluralStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativeMay the LORDוַֽיהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh)Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israeldoהַטּ֥וֹב (haṭ·ṭō·wḇ)Article | Adjective - masculine singularStrong's 2896: Pleasant, agreeable, goodwhat is goodיַעֲשֶֽׂה׃ (ya·‘ă·śeh)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 6213: To do, makein His sight.”בְּעֵינָ֖יו (bə·‘ê·nāw)Preposition-b | Noun - cdc | third person masculine singularStrong's 5869: An eye, a fountainJump to PreviousBehave Bravely Cities Courage Courageous Eyes Fight Good Heart Ourselves Play Prove Sake Seemeth Seems Shew Show Sight Strengthen Strong Valiant Valiantly
