Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(25) Tarried till they were ashamed.--See 2Kings 2:17; 2Kings 8:11. It is a dangerous matter to intrude on the privacy of an Oriental king.A key.--Literally, the opener. The ancient key was simply a bar of wood, hooked at the end, which passed through a hole in the door and caught the bolt inside.Their lord was fallen down dead.--Comp. Judges 4:22.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewSo they waitedוַיָּחִ֣ילוּ (way·yā·ḥî·lū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 2342: To twist, whirl, to dance, to writhe in pain, fear, to wait, to pervertuntilעַד־ (‘aḏ-)PrepositionStrong's 5704: As far as, even to, up to, until, whilethey became worriedבּ֔וֹשׁ (bō·wōš)Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 954: To pale, to be ashamed, to be disappointed, delayedand sawוְהְנֵּ֛ה‪‬‪‬‪‬ (wə·hin·nêh)Conjunctive waw | InterjectionStrong's 2009: Lo! behold!that he had still notאֵינֶ֥נּוּ (’ê·nen·nū)Adverb | third person masculine singularStrong's 369: A non-entity, a negative particleopenedפֹתֵ֖חַ (p̄ō·ṯê·aḥ)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 6605: To open wide, to loosen, begin, plough, carvethe doorsדַּלְת֣וֹת (dal·ṯō·wṯ)Noun - feminine plural constructStrong's 1817: Something swinging, the valve of a, doorof the upper room.הָֽעֲלִיָּ֑ה‪‬ (hā·‘ă·lî·yāh)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 5944: Something lofty, a stair-way, a second-story room, the skyThen they tookוַיִּקְח֤וּ (way·yiq·ḥū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 3947: To takethe keyהַמַּפְתֵּ֙חַ֙ (ham·map̄·tê·aḥ)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4668: An opener, a keyand opened [the doors]—וַיִּפְתָּ֔חוּ (way·yip̄·tā·ḥū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 6605: To open wide, to loosen, begin, plough, carveand thereוְהִנֵּה֙ (wə·hin·nêh)Conjunctive waw | InterjectionStrong's 2009: Lo! behold!was their lordאֲדֹ֣נֵיהֶ֔ם (’ă·ḏō·nê·hem)Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 113: Sovereign, controllerlyingנֹפֵ֥ל (nō·p̄êl)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 5307: To fall, liedeadמֵֽת׃ (mêṯ)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 4191: To die, to killon the floor.אַ֖רְצָה (’ar·ṣāh)Noun - feminine singular | third person feminine singularStrong's 776: Earth, landJump to PreviousAnxious Ashamed Chamber Confounded Dead Doors Earth Key Lay Master Open Opened Opening Parlor Point Roof Room Shamed Shut Stretched Tarried Upper Utterly Waited Waiting
