SIBI-P1 H4428-33
kings
| Root | מלך (m-l-k) |
| Core Meanings | to reign, to rule, kingship, royal authority |
| Semantic Range | king (singular), kings (plural), royal (adjectival), referring to human monarchs, divine king (Yahweh), foreign rulers, or messianic figures |
| Conceptual Significance | Emphasizes Yahweh's supreme sovereignty over all kings (e.g., 'King of kings'), with human kings as His delegated authorities accountable to divine law; foreshadows the eternal reign of the Messiah as ultimate King in prophetic eschatology. |
| Morphological Notes | HNcmpa: Noun, common (masculine), masculine plural absolute construct form of מֶלֶךְ (melek), appearing in 39 occurrences with cantillation variations. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מְלָכִים is a masculine plural noun (HNcmpa) from the root מלך meaning 'to reign,' so 'kings' directly preserves the core sense of royal rulers while matching the masculine plural morphology without pronominal suffixes or stem variations. This rendering maintains semantic connections to kingship evident in biblical contexts like judgments and divine sovereignty. |
