Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Of whom they sang.--The folk-songs, which had originally excited Saul's jealousy of the young hero David, were current among the Philistines, who seem to have been a musical people. David's having apparently learned and practised Philistine music when in Gath, which he subsequently introduced into Jerusalem, has been already noticed.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewIs thisזֶ֣ה (zeh)Pronoun - masculine singularStrong's 2088: This, thatnotהֲלוֹא־ (hă·lō·w-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nothe Davidדָוִ֔ד (ḏā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesseabout whomאֲשֶׁ֧ר (’ă·šer)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatthey singיַעֲנוּ־ (ya·‘ă·nū-)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 6030: To answer, respondin their dances:בַּמְּחֹל֖וֹת (bam·mə·ḥō·lō·wṯ)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine pluralStrong's 4246: A dance‘Saulשָׁאוּל֙ (šā·’ūl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 7586: Saul -- first king of Israel, also an Edomite and two Israeliteshas slainהִכָּ֤ה (hik·kāh)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 5221: To strike[his] thousands,בַּֽאֲלָפָ֔יו (ba·’ă·lā·p̄āw)Preposition-b | Number - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 505: A thousandand Davidוְדָוִ֖ד (wə·ḏā·wiḏ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jessehis tens of thousands’?”בְּרִבְבֹתָֽיו׃ (bə·riḇ·ḇō·ṯāw)Preposition-b | Number - feminine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 7233: Multitude, myriad, ten thousandJump to PreviousDance Dances David Death Myriads Sang Saul Sing Slain Slew Smitten Songs Sung Ten Tens Thousands
