to walk
ya.lakh chiefly describes going from one place to another, and also marks following a way, a deity, or a pattern of conduct.
The predominant use concerns movement: people go, depart, return, or travel toward a stated destination. In some clauses the same verb describes following a way, other gods, or a father's sinful pattern; in the supplied Hiphil forms, it describes leading or taking someone to a destination.
Senses in use
-
Going, departing, or traveling · dominant
Qal forms describe people moving toward, from, or along a location or route. In 1 Chronicles 11:4 the APB renders David and Israel going to Jerusalem; in 1 Kings 13:10 it renders the man of God going by another way; and in 1 Kings 10:13 the queen turns and goes to her own land.
-
Following a way or course of conduct · common
Qal forms can frame adherence to a course rather than a physical destination. In 1 Kings 3:14 the APB renders walking in the LORD's ways while keeping statutes and commandments; in 1 Kings 15:3 it renders walking in a father's sins; and in 1 Kings 18:21 the people are challenged to walk after the LORD or after Baal.
-
Leading or taking someone onward · rare
The supplied Hiphil forms portray caused movement. In 1 Kings 1:38 the APB says Solomon was led to Gihon, while 2 Chronicles 36:6 says Jehoiakim was bound in order to be taken to Babylon.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly uses “went,” “go,” and “walked,” and in the Hiphil examples uses “led” and “take.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings confirm the clauses' movement or following contexts without fixing a separate English equivalent in every instance.
