Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) And Jesse took an ass.--It was and is ever customary in the East to acknowledge obedience and subjection with a present. Jesse, the sheik of Bethlehem, would thus be expected on sending his son to the court of Saul to acknowledge his sovereign by some token of homage.The nature of Jesse's gifts shows how simple and primitive were the customs of the Hebrew people at that time.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAnd Jesseיִשַׁ֜י (yi·šay)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3448: Jesse -- father of Davidtookוַיִּקַּ֨ח (way·yiq·qaḥ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3947: To takea donkey [loaded with]חֲמ֥וֹר (ḥă·mō·wr)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 2543: A male assbread,לֶ֙חֶם֙ (le·ḥem)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3899: Food, bread, graina skinוְנֹ֣אד (wə·nōḏ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4997: A skin bottle, skinof wine,יַ֔יִן (ya·yin)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3196: Wine, intoxicationand oneאֶחָ֑ד (’e·ḥāḏ)Number - masculine singularStrong's 259: United, one, firstyoung goat,וּגְדִ֥י (ū·ḡə·ḏî)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1423: A kid (a young goat)and sent themוַיִּשְׁלַ֛ח (way·yiš·laḥ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7971: To send away, for, outtoאֶל־ (’el-)PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toSaulשָׁאֽוּל׃ (šā·’ūl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 7586: Saul -- first king of Israel, also an Edomite and two Israeliteswithבְּיַד־ (bə·yaḏ-)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 3027: A handhis sonבְּנ֖וֹ (bə·nōw)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 1121: A sonDavid.דָּוִ֥ד (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of JesseJump to PreviousAss Bottle Bread Cakes David Donkey Hand Jesse Jug Kid Loaded Saul Skin Wine Young
