Senses in use
-
Getting up to act, go, or begin · dominant
Qal forms repeatedly mark a person’s movement from a prior position into action: in 1 Kings 8:54 the APB renders Solomon’s action as “he arose from before the altar,” after bowing on his knees. Imperatives likewise initiate a following action, as in 1 Kings 17:9, “Arise, go to Zarephath,” while sequential forms introduce departure or action in 1 Kings 17:10 and 1 Kings 21:16.
-
Raising up or establishing someone or something · common
Hiphil forms present an agent bringing another person, office, or stated matter into place. In 1 Kings 11:14 the APB renders the clause “The LORD raised up an adversary,” and 1 Chronicles 17:11 says, “I will raise up your offspring after you”; 1 Kings 9:5 concerns establishing the throne of the kingdom.
-
Rising against an opponent · occasional
The Qal forms can identify opponents who take action against someone. In 2 Kings 16:7 the APB speaks of kings “who are rising against me,” and 2 Samuel 18:32 refers to those “who rose against you”; 1 Samuel 22:13 similarly describes a feared ambush against Saul.
-
Arising or continuing as a future reality · rare
A Qal imperfect can concern what will emerge or remain rather than an immediate physical movement. In 1 Kings 3:12 the APB says that none like Solomon “will arise after you,” while 1 Samuel 13:14 renders the statement about Saul’s kingdom as “will not continue.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly uses “arose,” “rise,” or “get up” for clauses of movement and action, while causative clauses are rendered “raised up” or “establish.” These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than fixing a separate English equivalent in every verse.
