| 1 | Strong's Number: g3870 | Greek: parakaleo |
Beseech:
the most frequent word with this meaning, lit. denotes "to call to one's side," hence, "to call to one's aid." It is used for every kind of calling to a person which is meant to produce a particular effect, hence, with various meanings, such as "comfort, exhort, desire, call for," in addition to its significance "to beseech," which has a stronger force than aiteo (See ASK). See, e.g., the RV "besought" in Mar 5:18; Act 8:31; 19:31; 1Cr 16:12.
See CALL, No. 6, Note (2), COMFORT, DESIRE, EXHORT, INTREAT, PRAY.
| 2 | Strong's Number: g2065 | Greek: erotao |
Beseech:
often translated by the verb "to beseech," in the Gospels, is elsewhere rendered "beseech," in 1Th 4:1; 5:12; 2Th 2:1; 2Jo 1:5.
See under ASK, No. 2.
| 3 | Strong's Number: g1189 | Greek: deomai |
Beseech:
"to desire, to long for," usually representing the word "need," is sometimes translated "beseech," e.g., Luk 5:12; Act 21:39; 2Cr 10:2; Gal 4:12. It is used of prayer to God, in Mat 9:38; Luk 10:2; 21:36; 22:32; Act 4:31; 8:22, 24; 10:2; Rom 1:10; 1Th 3:10.
See PRAY, REQUEST.
Note: Proskuneo is wrongly rendered "besought" in the AV marg. of Mat 18:26. The word signifies "to worship."
