Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) I will surely go with thee.--Literally-Going, I will go.Shall not be for thine honour.--Literally, thy pre-eminence (LXX. "proter?ma"; Luther, "der Preis ") shall not be on the path which thou enterest.Of a woman.--To enter into the force of this we must remember the humble and almost down-trodden position of women in the East, so that it could hardly fail to be a humiliation to a great warrior to be told that the chief glory would fall to a woman. He may have supposed that the woman was Deborah herself; but the woman was not the great prophetess, but Jael, the wife of the nomad chief (R. Tanchum, and Jos., Antt. v. 5, ? 4). Compare the feeling implied in Judges 9:24.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew“I will certainly goהָלֹ֧ךְ (hā·lōḵ)Verb - Qal - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 1980: To go, come, walkwith you,”עִמָּ֗ךְ (‘im·māḵ)Preposition | second person feminine singularStrong's 5973: With, equally withDeborah replied,וַתֹּ֜אמֶר (wat·tō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 559: To utter, say“butאֶ֚פֶס (’e·p̄es)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 657: Cessation, an end, no further, the ankle, footthe roadהַדֶּ֙רֶךְ֙ (had·de·reḵ)Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 1870: A road, a course of life, mode of actionyou [are taking]אַתָּ֣ה (’at·tāh)Pronoun - second person masculine singularStrong's 859: Thou and thee, ye and youwill bring youתִֽהְיֶ֜ה (ṯih·yeh)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, benoלֹ֨א (lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nohonor,תִּֽפְאַרְתְּךָ֗ (tip̄·’ar·tə·ḵā)Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 8597: Beauty, glorybecauseכִּ֣י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionthe LORDיְהוָ֖ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelwill be sellingיִמְכֹּ֥ר (yim·kōr)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 4376: To sellSiseraסִֽיסְרָ֑א (sî·sə·rā)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 5516: Sisera -- a general of the king of Hazor, also the father of some returning exilesinto the handבְֽיַד־ (ḇə·yaḏ-)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 3027: A handof a woman.”אִשָּׁ֔ה (’iš·šāh)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 802: Woman, wife, femaleSo Deborahדְּבוֹרָ֛ה (də·ḇō·w·rāh)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 1683: Deborah -- two Israelite womengot upוַתָּ֧קָם (wat·tā·qām)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 6965: To arise, stand up, standand wentהוֹלֵ֔ךְ (hō·w·lêḵ)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 1980: To go, come, walkwithעִם־ (‘im-)PrepositionStrong's 5973: With, equally withBarakבָּרָ֖ק (bā·rāq)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1301: Barak -- 'flash of lightning', an Israelite leaderto Kedesh,קֶֽדְשָׁה׃ (qeḏ·šāh)Noun - proper - feminine singular | third person feminine singularStrong's 6943: Kedesh -- 'sanctuary', the name of several places in IsraelJump to PreviousBarak Deborah Deb'orah Hand Hands Honor Honour Journey Kedesh Lead Nevertheless Notwithstanding Road Sell Sisera Sis'era Surely Way
