Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) And David said, Against the south of Judah.--The answer of David to his sovereign lord, the King of Gath--for he was now, to all intents and purposes, a vassal prince of Achish--was simply a falsehood. He had been engaged in distant forays against the old Bedaween enemies of Israel, far away in the desert which stretched to the frontier of Egypt; and from these nomads--rich in cattle and in other property, which they had obtained by years of successful plunder--he seems to have gained much booty, a share of which he brought to his "suzerain," Achish. But David represents that the cattle and apparel had been captured from his own countrymen, whose territory he was harrying. "The Jerahmeelites were descendants of Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron (1Chronicles 2:9; 1Chronicles 2:25-26), and therefore one of the three large families of Judah who sprang from Hezron."--Keil, They dwelt, it is believed, on the southern frontier of the tribe of Judah. The Kenites were a race living in friendship with and under the protection of Judah.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewwhoאָכִ֔ישׁ (’ā·ḵîš)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 397: Achish -- king of Gathwould ask him,וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (way·yō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, say“What have you raided today?”פְּשַׁטְתֶּ֖ם (pə·šaṭ·tem)Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine pluralStrong's 6584: To strip off, make a dash, raidAnd Davidדָּוִ֗ד (dā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jessewould reply,וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (way·yō·mer)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, say“The Negevנֶ֤גֶב (ne·ḡeḇ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 5045: South country, the Negeb, southof Judah,”יְהוּדָה֙ (yə·hū·ḏāh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3063: Judah -- 'praised', a son of Jacob, also the southern kingdom, also four Israelitesorוְעַל־ (wə·‘al-)Conjunctive waw | PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, against“The Negevנֶ֣גֶב (ne·ḡeḇ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 5045: South country, the Negeb, southof Jerahmeel,”הַיַּרְחְמְאֵלִ֔י (hay·yar·ḥə·mə·’ê·lî)Article | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3397: Jerahmeelites -- descendant of Jerahmeelorוְאֶל־ (wə·’el-)Conjunctive waw | PrepositionStrong's 413: Near, with, among, to“The Negevנֶ֖גֶב (ne·ḡeḇ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 5045: South country, the Negeb, southof the Kenites.”הַקֵּינִֽי׃ (haq·qê·nî)Article | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 7017: Kenite -- members of the tribe of KenitesJump to PreviousAchish A'chish David Jerahmeel Jerahmeelites Jerah'meelites Judah Kenite Kenites Ken'ites Negeb Negev Pushed Raid Raiding Road South Time Today To-Day Whither
