Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Saw them with her eyes.--This is to be taken in a sense wide enough to include knowledge obtained in any way, as well as by actual sight. The intercourse between Judaea and Babylon was so close that many of the people had seen the Babylonians personally, while others knew of them through their report.Sent messengers.--Ahaz "sent messengers" to Assyria (2Kings 16:7), and Hezekiah entertained ambassadors from Babylon (2Kings 20:13); but besides these, the whole history of the times implies that there must have been frequent embassies of which no special mention is made. One from Zedekiah is incidentally mentioned by Jeremiah (Jeremiah 29:3), of which there is no record in history.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAt the sightלְמַרְאֵ֣ה (lə·mar·’êh)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4758: Sight, appearance, visionof them she lustedוַתַּעְגְּבָ֥ה (wat·ta‘·gə·ḇāh)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine singular | third person feminine singularStrong's 5689: To have inordinate affection, lustfor themעֲלֵיהֶ֖ם (‘ă·lê·hem)Preposition | third person masculine pluralStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstand sentוַתִּשְׁלַ֧ח (wat·tiš·laḥ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 7971: To send away, for, outmessengersמַלְאָכִ֛ים (mal·’ā·ḵîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 4397: A messenger, of God, an angelto themאֲלֵיהֶ֖ם (’ă·lê·hem)Preposition | third person masculine pluralStrong's 413: Near, with, among, toin Chaldea.כַּשְׂדִּֽימָה׃ (kaś·dî·māh)Noun - proper - feminine singular | third person feminine singularStrong's 3778: Chaldeans -- a region of southern Babylon and its inhabJump to PreviousChaldaea Chaldea Chalde'a Desire Doted Doteth Eyes Full Lusted Messengers Servants Sight Soon
