to strangle
Looking for Greek G2614 katadiṓkō? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H2614. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
chânaq appears twice in Scripture, in 2 Samuel 17:23 and Nahum 2:12. In the Doxa app, open each of these verses, keep your notes on them, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
Definition
to be narrow; by implication, to throttle, or (reflex.) to choke oneself to death (by a rope)
In the King James Version
hang self, strangle.
Derivation
a primitive root (compare H2596 (חָנַךְ));
Appears 2 times in Scripture
