Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) What have I done?--The whole address of David to Saul is intensely reverent, even loving. The conspicuous trophy of his late "night raid" was in his hand; we can imagine the first rays of the morning sun lighting up the glittering royal spear grasped by David. Saul could not help recognising that at least the son of Jesse sought not his life.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAnd he continued,וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (way·yō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, say“Whyלָ֥מָּה (lām·māh)InterrogativeStrong's 4100: What?, what!, indefinitely whatis my lordאֲדֹנִ֥י (’ă·ḏō·nî)Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 113: Sovereign, controllerpursuingרֹדֵ֖ף (rō·ḏêp̄)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 7291: To pursue, chase, persecutehis servant?עַבְדּ֑וֹ (‘aḇ·dōw)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 5650: Slave, servantWhatמֶ֣ה (meh)InterrogativeStrong's 4100: What?, what!, indefinitely whathave I done?עָשִׂ֔יתִי (‘ā·śî·ṯî)Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singularStrong's 6213: To do, makeWhatוּמַה־ (ū·mah-)Conjunctive waw | InterrogativeStrong's 4100: What?, what!, indefinitely whatevilרָעָֽה׃ (rā·‘āh)Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 7451: Bad, evilis in my hand?בְּיָדִ֖י (bə·yā·ḏî)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 3027: A handJump to PreviousAdded Armed Evil Hand Hands Pursue Pursuing Servant Wherefore Wrong
