Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Destroy the names.--The substitution in later times of bosheth for baal in the names Jerubbaal (Jerubbesheth), Eshbaal (Ishbosheth), Meribbaal (Mephibosheth), is a curious example of the literal fulfilment of this command, or, perhaps, rather of the command in Exodus 23:13, of which the spirit and purport agree with this.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewTear downוְנִתַּצְתֶּ֣ם (wə·nit·taṣ·tem)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine pluralStrong's 5422: To pull down, break downtheir altars,מִזְבּחֹתָ֗ם‪‬ (miz·b·ḥō·ṯām)Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 4196: An altarsmashוְשִׁבַּרְתֶּם֙ (wə·šib·bar·tem)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine pluralStrong's 7665: To break, break in piecestheir sacred pillars,מַצֵּ֣בֹתָ֔ם (maṣ·ṣê·ḇō·ṯām)Noun - feminine plural construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 4676: Something stationed, a column, an idolburn upתִּשְׂרְפ֣וּן (tiś·rə·p̄ūn)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine plural | Paragogic nunStrong's 8313: To be, on firetheir Asherah poles,וַאֲשֵֽׁרֵיהֶם֙ (wa·’ă·šê·rê·hem)Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 842: A Phoenician goddess, also an image of the samecut downתְּגַדֵּע֑וּן (tə·ḡad·dê·‘ūn)Verb - Piel - Imperfect - second person masculine plural | Paragogic nunStrong's 1438: To fell a, tree, to destroy anythingthe idolsוּפְסִילֵ֥י (ū·p̄ə·sî·lê)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 6456: An idol, imageof their gods,אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֖ם (’ĕ·lō·hê·hem)Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativeand wipe outוְאִבַּדְתֶּ֣ם (wə·’ib·baḏ·tem)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine pluralStrong's 6: To wander away, lose oneself, to perishtheir namesשְׁמָ֔ם (šə·mām)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 8034: A namefromמִן־ (min-)PrepositionStrong's 4480: A part of, from, out ofevery place.הַמָּק֖וֹם (ham·mā·qō·wm)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4725: A standing, a spot, a conditionJump to PreviousAltars Asherah Asherahs Asherim Ashe'rim Break Broken Burn Cut Dash Destroy Engraved Hew Holy Idols Images Names Overthrow Pieces Pillars Poles Sacred Shatter Smash Statues Stones Tear Trees
