Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Hast slain him.--This is a different and stronger word than "killed" in the first part of the verse, and might well be translated murdered. It was murder in the eyes of the Lord, although accomplished indirectly by the sword of the Ammonites.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewWhyמַדּ֜וּעַ (mad·dū·a‘)InterrogativeStrong's 4069: Why? for what reason?then have you despisedבָּזִ֣יתָ ׀ (bā·zî·ṯā)Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 959: To disesteemthe commandדְּבַ֣ר (də·ḇar)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1697: A word, a matter, thing, a causeof the LORDיְהוָ֗ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelby doingלַעֲשׂ֣וֹת (la·‘ă·śō·wṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 6213: To do, makeevilהָרַע֮ (hā·ra‘)Article | Adjective - masculine singularStrong's 7451: Bad, evilin His sight?בְּעֵינַי֒ (bə·‘ê·nay)Preposition-b | Noun - cdc | first person common singularStrong's 5869: An eye, a fountainYou struck downהִכִּ֣יתָ (hik·kî·ṯā)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 5221: To strikeUriahאוּרִיָּ֤ה (’ū·rî·yāh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 223: Uriah -- 'flame of Yah', the name of a Hittite and of two Israelitesthe Hittiteהַֽחִתִּי֙ (ha·ḥit·tî)Article | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 2850: Hittite -- a Chittitewith the swordבַחֶ֔רֶב (ḇa·ḥe·reḇ)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 2719: Drought, a cutting instrument, as a, knife, swordand tookלָקַ֥חְתָּ (lā·qaḥ·tā)Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 3947: To takehis wifeאִשְׁתּ֔וֹ (’iš·tōw)Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 802: Woman, wife, femaleas your own,לְאִשָּׁ֑ה (lə·’iš·šāh)Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 802: Woman, wife, femalefor you have slain himהָרַ֔גְתָּ (hā·raḡ·tā)Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 2026: To smite with deadly intentwith the swordבְּחֶ֖רֶב (bə·ḥe·reḇ)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 2719: Drought, a cutting instrument, as a, knife, swordof the Ammonites.בְּנֵ֥י (bə·nê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 1121: A sonJump to PreviousAmmon Ammonites Children Commandment Despise Despised Evil Eyes Hittite Killed Sight Slain Smitten Struck Sword Uriah Wherefore Wife Word
