Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) He came to-day.--The little scene--in itself in no way remarkable--is recounted by an eye-witness, evidently as introducing momentous consequences.Every detail of that day's proceedings was of deep interest to Israel. Some of the maidens of Raman were at the well side, drawing water for their homes. The two strangers accost them with the words, "Is the seer who dwells among you here just now?" and they eagerly reply, "Yes, this very day he came from his house into the town. It is a festival day--you will find him presiding up there," pointing, no doubt, to the high place, where the sacrifices were being offered. Every word spoken by the girls of Ramah, loving to chatter and exhibit their local knowledge and their interest in their great fellow-citizen, the seer and judge, to whom they, in common with the inhabitants of Ramah, were, no doubt, much attached, was remembered in after time by Saul and his companion.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew“Yes,הִנֵּ֣ה (hin·nêh)InterjectionStrong's 2009: Lo! behold!he isיֵּ֖שׁ (yêš)AdverbStrong's 3426: Being, substance, existence, isahead of you,”לְפָנֶ֑יךָ (lə·p̄ā·ne·ḵā)Preposition-l | Noun - common plural construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 6440: The facethey answered.וַתַּעֲנֶ֧ינָה (wat·ta·‘ă·ne·nāh)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine pluralStrong's 6030: To answer, respond“Hurryמַהֵ֣ר ׀ (ma·hêr)Verb - Piel - Imperative - masculine singularStrong's 4116: To be liquid, flow easily, to hurry, promptlynow,עַתָּ֗ה (‘at·tāh)AdverbStrong's 6258: At this timeforכִּ֤י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctiontodayהַיּוֹם֙ (hay·yō·wm)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3117: A dayhe has comeבָּ֣א (bā)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, goto the cityלָעִ֔יר (lā·‘îr)Preposition-l, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 5892: Excitementbecauseכִּ֣י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionthe people haveלָעָ֖ם (lā·‘ām)Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 5971: A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flocka sacrificeזֶ֧בַח (ze·ḇaḥ)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 2077: A slaughter, the flesh of an animal, a sacrificeon the high place.בַּבָּמָֽה׃ (bab·bā·māh)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 1116: An elevationJump to PreviousAhead City Haste He's High Hurry Making Quickly Sacrifice Stated Today To-Day
