Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) There came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead.--Jabesh-Gilead, which Josephus calls the metropolis of Gilead (Antt. vi. 5, ? 1), is probably to be identified with the ruins now called El-Deir in the Wady Yabes (Robinson, 3:319). It was six miles from Pella, on the top of a hill which lies on the road from Pella to Gerasa. For some reason with which we are unacquainted, there seems to have been a bond of intense sympathy between the inhabitants of this town and Benjamin. If their abstinence from the assembly of vengeance was not due to this, we must suppose that the sort of companionship in misery caused by these wild events itself created a sense of union between these communities, for it is the peril of Jabesh which first arouses King Saul to action (1 Samuel 11). and in memory of the deliverance which he effected the men of Jabesh alone save the bodies of Saul and Jonathan from the indignity of rotting on the wall of Bethshan (1Samuel 31:11), which gained them the blessing of David (2Samuel 2:5-6). We see from these later incidents that Jabesh recovered from the extermination now inflicted on its inhabitants.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewSo they asked,וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ (way·yō·mə·rū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 559: To utter, say“Whichמִ֗י (mî)InterrogativeStrong's 4310: Who?, whoever, in oblique construction with prefix, suffixoneאֶחָד֙ (’e·ḥāḏ)Number - masculine singularStrong's 259: United, one, firstof the tribesמִשִּׁבְטֵ֣י (miš·šiḇ·ṭê)Preposition-m | Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 7626: Rod, staff, club, scepter, tribeof Israelיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל (yiś·rā·’êl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his descfailedלֹֽא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noto come upעָלָ֥ה (‘ā·lāh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 5927: To ascend, in, activelybeforeאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, tothe LORDיְהוָ֖ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelat Mizpah?”הַמִּצְפָּ֑ה (ham·miṣ·pāh)Article | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 4709: Mizpah -- the name of several places in IsraelAnd in fact,וְ֠הִנֵּה (wə·hin·nêh)Conjunctive waw | InterjectionStrong's 2009: Lo! behold!no oneלֹ֣א (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nofrom Jabesh-gileadמִיָּבֵ֥ישׁ (mî·yā·ḇêš)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 3003: Jabesh -- a place in Gilead, also an Israelitehad comeבָא־ (ḇā-)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, gotoאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, tothe campהַֽמַּחֲנֶ֛ה (ham·ma·ḥă·neh)Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 4264: An encampment, an armyfor the assembly.הַקָּהָֽל׃ (haq·qā·hāl)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 6951: Assembly, convocation, congregationJump to PreviousAssemble Assembly Camp Discovered Israel Jabesh Jabeshgilead Jabesh-Gilead Ja'besh-Gil'ead Meeting Mizpah Mizpeh Tribes
