Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersIV.(1) All the Israelites were troubled.--The death of Abner affected both Ish-bosheth and his people. For the former, "his hands were feeble," the whole support and strength of his throne being gone; the latter were "troubled" because they had been carrying on negotiations with David through Abner, and these were now thrown into confusion, and it became uncertain how they might result.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewNow when [Ish-bosheth] sonבֶּן־ (ben-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1121: A sonof Saulשָׁא֗וּל (šā·’ūl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 7586: Saul -- first king of Israel, also an Edomite and two Israelitesheardוַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע (way·yiš·ma‘)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 8085: To hear intelligentlythatכִּ֣י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionAbnerאַבְנֵר֙ (’aḇ·nêr)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 74: Abner -- 'my father is a lamp', an Israelite namehad diedמֵ֤ת (mêṯ)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 4191: To die, to killin Hebron,בְּחֶבְר֔וֹן (bə·ḥeḇ·rō·wn)Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 2275: Hebron -- 'association, league', a city in southern Judahhe lostוַיִּרְפּ֖וּ (way·yir·pū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 7503: Sink, relaxcourage,יָדָ֑יו (yā·ḏāw)Noun - fdc | third person masculine singularStrong's 3027: A handand allוְכָל־ (wə·ḵāl)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everyIsraelיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל (yiś·rā·’êl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his descwas dismayed.נִבְהָֽלוּ׃ (niḇ·hā·lū)Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 926: To tremble inwardly, be, alarmed, agitated, to hasten anxiouslyJump to PreviousAbner Affrighted Courage Dead Died Dismayed Disturbed Enfeebled Failed Feeble Hands Heard Heareth Hebron Ishbosheth Ish-Bosheth Ish-Bo'sheth Israel Israelites Lost News Saul Saul's Troubled
