Strong's Lexicon deabon: Sorrow, Grief Original Word: דְּאָבוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּאַב (da'av), meaning "to languish" or "to grieve." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of sorrow or grief is λύπη (lypē), Strong's Greek #3077, which also conveys the idea of pain, distress, or sadness. Usage: The term "deabon" is used to express a deep sense of sorrow or grief. It conveys an emotional state of mourning or lamentation, often associated with personal loss, national tragedy, or divine judgment. In the Hebrew Bible, it reflects the profound emotional response to circumstances that evoke lament. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of grief and sorrow were often communal and public. Mourning practices included wearing sackcloth, sitting in ashes, fasting, and wailing. The concept of "deabon" would have been understood within this context of visible and shared expressions of lament. Grief was not only a personal experience but also a collective one, often tied to the covenant relationship with God and the consequences of disobedience.
