Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) A son of Belial.--Belial was not a proper name, though it subsequently came to be considered one. It signifies simply worthlessness; here a "son of Belial" is an expression for a bad, worthless fellow.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewNowוְעַתָּ֗ה (wə·‘at·tāh)Conjunctive waw | AdverbStrong's 6258: At this timeconsider carefullyדְּעִ֤י (də·‘î)Verb - Qal - Imperative - feminine singularStrong's 3045: To knowwhatמַֽה־ (mah-)InterrogativeStrong's 4100: What?, what!, indefinitely whatyou must do,תַּעֲשִׂ֔י (ta·‘ă·śî)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person feminine singularStrong's 6213: To do, makebecauseכִּֽי־ (kî-)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctiondisasterהָרָעָ֛ה (hā·rā·‘āh)Article | Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 7451: Bad, evilloomsכָלְתָ֧ה (ḵā·lə·ṯāh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 3615: To be complete, at an end, finished, accomplished, or spentoverאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toour masterאֲדֹנֵ֖ינוּ (’ă·ḏō·nê·nū)Noun - masculine plural construct | first person common pluralStrong's 113: Sovereign, controllerandוְעַ֣ל (wə·‘al)Conjunctive waw | PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstallכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everyhis household.בֵּית֑וֹ (bê·ṯōw)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 1004: A houseFor he [is such]וְהוּא֙ (wə·hū)Conjunctive waw | Pronoun - third person masculine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, area scoundrelבְּלִיַּ֔עַל (bə·lî·ya·‘al)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1100: Without profit, worthlessness, destruction, wickedness that nobody can speakמִדַּבֵּ֖ר (mid·dab·bêr)Preposition-m | Verb - Piel - Infinitive constructStrong's 1696: To arrange, to speak, to subdueto him!”אֵלָֽיו׃ (’ê·lāw)Preposition | third person masculine singularStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toJump to PreviousBase Belial Consider Determined Disaster Evil Hanging House Household Ill-Natured Master Plotted Possible Speak Store Talk Think Thought Wilt Worthless
