Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) Which were about six hundred.--This is the only note we have in this part of the narrative of the rapid increase of the number of "men-at-arms" who joined David.Whithersoever they could.--That is, the armed camp of David was pitched without any fixed plan or aim. Probably the force was marched in the direction of any Philistine raid, and it carried on thus on behalf of Israel a perpetual border warfare.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThen Davidדָּוִ֨ד (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesseand his men,וַאֲנָשָׁ֜יו (wa·’ă·nā·šāw)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personabout sixכְּשֵׁשׁ־ (kə·šêš-)Preposition-k | Number - feminine singularStrong's 8337: Six (a cardinal number)hundred [strong],מֵא֣וֹת (mê·’ō·wṯ)Number - feminine pluralStrong's 3967: A hundredset outוַיָּקָם֩ (way·yā·qām)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 6965: To arise, stand up, standand departedוַיֵּצְאוּ֙ (way·yê·ṣə·’ū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 3318: To go, bring, out, direct and proximfrom Keilah,מִקְּעִלָ֔ה (miq·qə·‘i·lāh)Preposition-m | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 7084: Keilah -- a city in Judahmoving from place to place.וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכ֖וּ (way·yiṯ·hal·lə·ḵū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hitpael - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 1980: To go, come, walkWhen it was reportedהֻגַּ֗ד (hug·gaḏ)Verb - Hofal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 5046: To be conspicuousto Saulוּלְשָׁא֣וּל (ū·lə·šā·’ūl)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 7586: Saul -- first king of Israel, also an Edomite and two Israelitesthatכִּֽי־ (kî-)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionDavidדָּוִד֙ (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jessehad escapedנִמְלַ֤ט (nim·laṭ)Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 4422: To be smooth, to escape, to release, rescue, to bring forth young, emit sparksfrom Keilah,מִקְּעִילָ֔ה (miq·qə·‘î·lāh)Preposition-m | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 7084: Keilah -- a city in Judahhe declinedוַיֶּחְדַּ֖ל (way·yeḥ·dal)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2308: To be flabby, desist, be lacking, idleto go forth.לָצֵֽאת׃ (lā·ṣêṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 3318: To go, bring, out, direct and proximJump to PreviousAble Ceaseth David Declared Departed Escaped Expedition Hearing Hundred Keilah Kei'lah Kept Moving Pursuit Riseth Saul Six Wherever Whithersoever
