Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims (K-shim and L-bim) a huge host?--An instance confirming what was said in 2Chronicles 16:7. Cushites and Lybians were banded together in Zerah's great army, just as Syrians and Israelites might have united in assailing Judah, yet the victory had fallen to Asa (2Chronicles 14:9-15).Cushites and Libyans were among the constituents of Shishak's army (2Chronicles 12:3). Clearly, therefore, Zerah was master of Egypt.(The Heb. of this and next verse is unmistakably the chronicler's own. Literally it runs: "Did not the Cushites and the Libyans come to an army, to abundance, (as) to chariots and to horsemen, to abounding greatly?")Neither the Libyan contingent nor the horsemen are mentioned in 2 Chronicles 14. Apparently the writer is making extracts from fuller sources.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewWereהָי֨וּ (hā·yū)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, benotהֲלֹ֧א (hă·lō)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nothe Cushitesהַכּוּשִׁ֣ים (hak·kū·šîm)Article | Noun - proper - masculine pluralStrong's 3569: Cushite -- descendant of Cushand Libyansוְהַלּוּבִ֗ים (wə·hal·lū·ḇîm)Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - proper - masculine pluralStrong's 3864: Lubim -- inhabitants of North Africaa vastלָרֹ֛ב (lā·rōḇ)Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7230: Multitude, abundance, greatnessarmyלְחַ֧יִל ׀ (lə·ḥa·yil)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 2428: A force, an army, wealth, virtue, valor, strengthwith manyלְהַרְבֵּ֣ה (lə·har·bêh)Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive absoluteStrong's 7235: To be or become much, many or greatchariotsלְרֶ֥כֶב (lə·re·ḵeḇ)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7393: A vehicle, a team, cavalry, a rider, the upper millstoneand horsemen?וּלְפָרָשִׁ֖ים (ū·lə·p̄ā·rā·šîm)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 6571: A steed, a driver, cavalryYet because you reliedוּבְהִשָּֽׁעֶנְךָ֥ (ū·ḇə·hiš·šā·‘en·ḵā)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Verb - Nifal - Infinitive construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 8172: To lean, support oneselfonעַל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstthe LORD,יְהוָ֖ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of IsraelHe delivered themנְתָנָ֥ם (nə·ṯā·nām)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine pluralStrong's 5414: To give, put, setinto your hand.בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃ (bə·yā·ḏe·ḵā)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 3027: A handJump to PreviousArmy Chariot Chariots Cushites Delivered Ethiopians Exceeding Exceedingly Force Great Hand Horsemen Host Huge Immense Lubim Mighty Multitude Numbered Numbers Numerous Relied Rely War-Carriages Weren't
