Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) In the valley of Elan, fighting with the Philistines.--The words of this verse, which read in the English Version as an explanatory parenthesis, are really part of Jesse's direction to his shepherd son, telling him where he would find his brethren. "They are in the valley of the Terebinth (Elah), fighting with the Philistines."Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewTheyוְהֵ֙מָּה֙ (wə·hêm·māh)Conjunctive waw | Pronoun - third person masculine pluralStrong's 1992: Theyare with Saulוְשָׁא֤וּל (wə·šā·’ūl)Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 7586: Saul -- first king of Israel, also an Edomite and two Israelitesand allוְכָל־ (wə·ḵāl)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everythe menאִ֣ישׁ (’îš)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 582: Man, mankindof Israelיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל (yiś·rā·’êl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his descin the Valley of Elah,הָֽאֵלָ֑ה (hā·’ê·lāh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 425: Elah -- 'terebinth', an Israelite name, also an Edomite namefightingנִלְחָמִ֖ים (nil·ḥā·mîm)Verb - Nifal - Participle - masculine pluralStrong's 3898: To feed on, to consume, to battleagainstעִם־ (‘im-)PrepositionStrong's 5973: With, equally withthe Philistines.”פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ (pə·liš·tîm)Noun - proper - masculine pluralStrong's 6430: Philistines -- inhabitants of PhilistiaJump to PreviousElah Israel Philistines Saul Terebinths Vale Valley
