Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) Her neighbours.--See Note on Ezekiel 23:5. In both places the warriors of Assyria are described in the most attractive way to carry out the figure; they are also spoken of as very powerful, to explain the political attraction to them. Israel was both fascinated by their splendour and overawed by their power.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewShe too lustedעָגָ֜בָה (‘ā·ḡā·ḇāh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 5689: To have inordinate affection, lustafterאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, tothe Assyrians—בְּנֵי֩ (bə·nê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 1121: A songovernorsפַּח֨וֹת (pa·ḥō·wṯ)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 6346: A governorand commanders,וּסְגָנִ֤ים (ū·sə·ḡā·nîm)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 5461: A prefect of a, provincewarriorsקְרֹבִים֙ (qə·rō·ḇîm)Adjective - masculine pluralStrong's 7138: Neardressedלְבֻשֵׁ֣י (lə·ḇu·šê)Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine plural constructStrong's 3847: Wrap around, to put on a, garment, clothein splendor,מִכְל֔וֹל (miḵ·lō·wl)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4358: Perfection, gorgeous attirehorsemenפָּרָשִׁ֖ים (pā·rā·šîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 6571: A steed, a driver, cavalryriding onרֹכְבֵ֣י (rō·ḵə·ḇê)Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural constructStrong's 7392: To ride, to place upon, to despatchsteeds,סוּסִ֑ים (sū·sîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 5483: A swallow, swift (type of bird)allכֻּלָּֽם׃ (kul·lām)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everydesirableחֶ֖מֶד (ḥe·meḏ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 2531: Desire, delightyoung men.בַּח֥וּרֵי (ba·ḥū·rê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 970: Selected, a youthJump to PreviousArmor Asshur Assyrians Attractive Blue Captains Children Clothed Commanders Desirable Desire Desired Doted Dress Full Gorgeously Governors Handsome Horsemen Horses Lusted Neighbors Neighbouring Neighbours Officials Ones Prefects Riding Rulers Warriors Young
