Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(26) The mountain.--Conder, in his Tent Life in Palestine, identifies this spot with high probability. Indeed, his whole book is most instructive and trustworthy, and to the reader interested in these scenes in the life of David, as well as in those other many events which have taken place in the Storied Land, his book will form an admirable guide.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewSaulשָׁא֜וּל (šā·’ūl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 7586: Saul -- first king of Israel, also an Edomite and two Israeliteswas proceeding alongוַיֵּ֨לֶךְ (way·yê·leḵ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1980: To go, come, walkoneמִזֶּ֔ה (miz·zeh)Preposition-m | Pronoun - masculine singularStrong's 2088: This, thatsideמִצַּ֤ד (miṣ·ṣaḏ)Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 6654: A side, an adversaryof the mountain,הָהָר֙ (hā·hār)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 2022: Mountain, hill, hill countryand Davidוְדָוִ֧ד (wə·ḏā·wiḏ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesseand his menוַאֲנָשָׁ֛יו (wa·’ă·nā·šāw)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personalong the otherמִזֶּ֑ה (miz·zeh)Preposition-m | Pronoun - masculine singularStrong's 2088: This, thatside.מִצַּ֥ד (miṣ·ṣaḏ)Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 6654: A side, an adversaryEven though Davidדָוִ֜ד (ḏā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jessewas hurryingנֶחְפָּ֤ז (neḥ·pāz)Verb - Nifal - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 2648: To start up suddenly, to hasten away, to fearto get away,לָלֶ֙כֶת֙ (lā·le·ḵeṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 1980: To go, come, walkSaulוְשָׁא֣וּל (wə·šā·’ūl)Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 7586: Saul -- first king of Israel, also an Edomite and two Israelitesand his menוַאֲנָשָׁ֗יו (wa·’ă·nā·šāw)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personwere closingעֹֽטְרִ֛ים (‘ō·ṭə·rîm)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine pluralStrong's 5849: To encircle, to crownin onאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toDavidדָּוִ֥ד (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesseand his menאֲנָשָׁ֖יו (’ă·nā·šāw)Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personto capture them.לְתָפְשָֽׂם׃ (lə·ṯā·p̄ə·śām)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 8610: To manipulate, seize, chiefly to capture, wield, to overlay, to use unwarrantablyJump to PreviousCapture Closing Compassed David David's Haste Making Mountain Purpose Round Saul Seize Side Surrounded Surrounding
