Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) And Saul called all the people together.--Such a summons to war on the part of the sovereign has been always a royal right. The plea, of course, alleged for this "summons" was the necessity of an immediate national effort against the hereditary enemies of the people.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThen Saulשָׁא֛וּל (šā·’ūl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 7586: Saul -- first king of Israel, also an Edomite and two Israelitessummonedוַיְשַׁמַּ֥ע (way·šam·ma‘)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 8085: To hear intelligentlyallכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everyhis troopsהָעָ֖ם (hā·‘ām)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 5971: A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flockto goלָרֶ֣דֶת (lā·re·ḏeṯ)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 3381: To come or go down, descendto warלַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה (lam·mil·ḥā·māh)Preposition-l, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 4421: A battle, warat Keilahקְעִילָ֔ה (qə·‘î·lāh)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 7084: Keilah -- a city in Judahand besiegeלָצ֥וּר (lā·ṣūr)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 6696: To confine, bind, besiegeDavidדָּוִ֖ד (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesseand his men.אֲנָשָֽׁיו׃ (’ă·nā·šāw)Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personJump to PreviousAttack Battle Besiege David Keilah Kei'lah Lay Saul Siege Summoned Summoneth Together War Whole
