Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) And behold, it was burned with fire.--A terrible reception for David and his free lances, on their return from their ill-omened expedition with the great Philistine army, to find only the charred and smoking ruins of their homes; not one of all their dear ones, whom they had left behind--as they thought in security--left to tell the story of the disaster. It was the Egyptian slave who had fallen sick, and, in consequence, had been deserted, and whom they came upon in the course of the pursuit, who gave them the details, and told them the story of the invasion, and described the route taken by the marauding force on their return to their country.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewWhen Davidדָוִ֤ד (ḏā·wiḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 1732: David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesseand his menוַֽאֲנָשָׁיו֙ (wa·’ă·nā·šāw)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personcameוַיָּבֹ֨א (way·yā·ḇō)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, goto the city,הָעִ֔יר (hā·‘îr)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 5892: Excitementthey foundוְהִנֵּ֥ה (wə·hin·nêh)Conjunctive waw | InterjectionStrong's 2009: Lo! behold!it burned downשְׂרוּפָ֖ה (śə·rū·p̄āh)Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - feminine singularStrong's 8313: To be, on fireand their wivesוּנְשֵׁיהֶ֛ם (ū·nə·šê·hem)Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 802: Woman, wife, femaleand sonsוּבְנֵיהֶ֥ם (ū·ḇə·nê·hem)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 1121: A sonand daughtersוּבְנֹתֵיהֶ֖ם (ū·ḇə·nō·ṯê·hem)Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 1323: A daughtertaken captive.נִשְׁבּֽוּ׃ (niš·bū)Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 7617: To transport into captivityJump to PreviousBurned Burnt Captive Captives City Daughters David Destroyed Prisoners Wives Ziklag
