Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(34) Increased.--Literally, went up, grew. (Comp. Genesis 40:10; Amos 7, the growth of grass.)Howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot.--Literally, and the king of Israel was (or, continued) holding himself up in the chariot, facing Aram, until the evening. 1Kings 22:35 reads: was held up in the chariot, &c, and he died in the evening. The reading of Chronicles is preferable, the sense being that Ahab bravely bore up against the pain of his wound, in order not to discourage his own side by retiring from the field. The rest of the narrative which tells of the return of the army and the washing of Ahab's chariot at the pool of Samaria (1Kings 22:36-38) is omitted here, because Jehoshaphat was not concerned in it, and perhaps because the chronicler had a true perception of the real climax of this vivid story of the olden time.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThe battleהַמִּלְחָמָה֙ (ham·mil·ḥā·māh)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 4421: A battle, warragedוַתַּ֤עַל (wat·ta·‘al)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 5927: To ascend, in, activelythroughout thatהַה֔וּא (ha·hū)Article | Pronoun - third person masculine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, areday,בַּיּ֣וֹם (bay·yō·wm)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3117: A dayand the kingוּמֶ֣לֶךְ (ū·me·leḵ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4428: A kingof Israelיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל (yiś·rā·’êl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his descpropped himself upמַעֲמִ֧יד (ma·‘ă·mîḏ)Verb - Hifil - Participle - masculine singularStrong's 5975: To stand, in various relationsin his chariotבַּמֶּרְכָּבָ֛ה (bam·mer·kā·ḇāh)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 4818: A chariotfacingנֹ֥כַח (nō·ḵaḥ)PrepositionStrong's 5227: The front part, opposite, in front of, forward, in behalf ofthe Arameansאֲרָ֖ם (’ă·rām)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 758: Aram -- Syriauntilעַד־ (‘aḏ-)PrepositionStrong's 5704: As far as, even to, up to, until, whileevening.הָעָ֑רֶב (hā·‘ā·reḇ)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 6153: EveningAnd at sunsetבּ֥וֹא (bō·w)Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, gohe died.וַיָּ֕מָת (way·yā·māṯ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 4191: To die, to killJump to PreviousAramaeans Arameans Battle Chariot Dead Died Evening Facing Fight Front Grew Hot Howbeit However Increased Increaseth Israel Propped Raged Setting Sun Sundown Sunset Supported Syrians Time Violent
