SIBI-P1 H4428-36
king
| Root | מלך (m-l-k) |
| Core Meanings | rule, reign, kingship, counsel, leadership |
| Semantic Range | king (primary, 2518x), royal (2x), proper name (Melech, Hammelech); denotes earthly rulers, God as King, or advisory counsel in rare usages[1][2][4]. |
| Conceptual Significance | מֶלֶךְ signifies Yahweh's ultimate kingship over Israel contrasting flawed human monarchs, underscoring themes of divine sovereignty, covenant leadership, and messianic hope (e.g., Zechariah 9:9); it highlights rejection of God's rule in favor of earthly kings (1 Samuel 8) while affirming eternal reign[3]. |
| Morphological Notes | HNcmsc: Noun, common gender, masculine, singular, construct state; appears in construct chain as 'king of' in many contexts. |
| Rendering Rationale | The faithful rendering 'king' directly preserves the core semantic field of מלך (H4428), derived from the root מלך meaning 'to rule' or 'reign' (H4427), emphasizing sovereign authority[1][3]. The morphology HNcmsc (noun, common gender, masculine, singular, construct state) is reflected in the masculine singular form 'king', which matches the grammatical specifications without suffixes or plurality[1]. This maintains both root meaning and form fidelity for the Scattered Israelites Bible lexicon. |
