Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(42) Go in peace.--The abruptness of the closing words is most natural, and accords with the evident deep emotion of the speaker. David's heart was too full to reply to his friend's words; blinded with tears, he seems to have hurried away speechless."We may indeed wonder at the delicacy of feeling and the gentleness of the sentiments which these two men in those old rough times entertained for one another. No ancient writer has set before us so noble an example of a heartfelt, unselfish, and thoroughly human state of feeling, and none has described friendship with such entire truth in all its relations, and with such complete and profound knowledge of the human heart."--Phillipson, quoted by Payne Smith.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAnd Jonathanיְהוֹנָתָ֛ן (yə·hō·w·nā·ṯān)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3083: Jonathan -- 'the LORD has given', the name of a number of Israelitessaidוַיֹּ֧אמֶר (way·yō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, sayto David,לְדָוִ֖ד (lə·ḏā·wiḏ)Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesse“Goלֵ֣ךְ (lêḵ)Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singularStrong's 1980: To go, come, walkin peace,לְשָׁל֑וֹם (lə·šā·lō·wm)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7965: Safe, well, happy, friendly, welfare, health, prosperity, peaceforאֲשֶׁר֩ (’ă·šer)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatthe two of usשְׁנֵ֜ינוּ (šə·nê·nū)Number - mdc | first person common pluralStrong's 8147: Two (a cardinal number)have swornנִשְׁבַּ֨עְנוּ (niš·ba‘·nū)Verb - Nifal - Perfect - first person common pluralStrong's 7650: To seven oneself, swearin the nameבְּשֵׁ֤ם (bə·šêm)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 8034: A nameof the LORDיְהוָה֙ (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelwhen weאֲנַ֗חְנוּ (’ă·naḥ·nū)Pronoun - first person common pluralStrong's 587: Wesaid,לֵאמֹ֔ר (lê·mōr)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 559: To utter, say‘May the LORDיְהוָ֞ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelbeיִֽהְיֶ֣ה ׀ (yih·yeh)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, bea witness betweenבֵּינִ֣י (bê·nî)Preposition | first person common singularStrong's 996: An interval, space betweenyou and me,וּבֵינֶ֗ךָ (ū·ḇê·ne·ḵā)Conjunctive waw | Preposition | second person masculine singularStrong's 996: An interval, space betweenand betweenוּבֵ֥ין (ū·ḇên)Conjunctive waw | PrepositionStrong's 996: An interval, space betweenyour descendantsזַרְעֲךָ֖ (zar·‘ă·ḵā)Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 2233: Seed, fruit, plant, sowing-time, posterityandוּבֵ֥ין (ū·ḇên)Conjunctive waw | PrepositionStrong's 996: An interval, space betweenmineזַרְעִ֛י (zar·‘î)Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 2233: Seed, fruit, plant, sowing-time, posterityforever.??עַד־ (‘aḏ-)PrepositionStrong's 5704: As far as, even to, up to, until, whileThen David got upוַיָּ֖קָם (way·yā·qām)0Strong's 6965: To arise, stand up, standand departed,וַיֵּלַ֑ךְ (way·yê·laḵ)0Strong's 1980: To go, come, walkand Jonathanוִיהוֹנָתָ֖ן (wî·hō·w·nā·ṯān)0Strong's 3083: Jonathan -- 'the LORD has given', the name of a number of Israeliteswent backבָּ֥א (bā)0Strong's 935: To come in, come, go in, gointo the city.הָעִֽיר׃ (hā·‘îr)0Strong's 5892: ExcitementJump to PreviousCity David Departed Descendants Inasmuch Jonathan Peace Rose Safety Seed Sworn
