Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) While that David was in the hold.--This "hold" is, of course, identical with the "hold" of 1Samuel 22:5, from which Gad the prophet directs David to depart, and to return into the land of Judah. It was, most likely, in the Land of Moab.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewSo he leftוַיַּנְחֵ֕ם (way·yan·ḥêm)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine pluralStrong's 5148: To guide, to transportthem inאֶת־ (’eṯ-)PrepositionStrong's 854: Nearness, near, with, by, at, amongthe careפְּנֵ֖י (pə·nê)Noun - common plural constructStrong's 6440: The faceof the kingמֶ֣לֶךְ (me·leḵ)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4428: A kingof Moab,מוֹאָ֑ב (mō·w·’āḇ)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 4124: Moab -- a son of Lot,also his descendants and the territory where they settledand they stayedוַיֵּשְׁב֣וּ (way·yê·šə·ḇū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 3427: To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marrywithעִמּ֔וֹ (‘im·mōw)Preposition | third person masculine singularStrong's 5973: With, equally withhim the wholeכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everytimeיְמֵ֥י (yə·mê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 3117: A dayDavidדָּוִ֖ד (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jessewasהֱיוֹת־ (hĕ·yō·wṯ-)Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, bein the stronghold.בַּמְּצוּדָֽה׃ (bam·mə·ṣū·ḏāh)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 4686: A net, capture, a fastnessJump to PreviousAbode David David's Dwell Dwelt Hold Leadeth Moab Safe Stronghold Time
