Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

דָּלַק fut. יִדְלַק

(1) to burn, to flame. (Aram. ܕܠܩܰ, id. To this corresponds Gr. δέρκομαι, prop. to flame, to shine, which is applied to the power of seeing; comp. שָׁזַף). Psalms 7:14, חִצָּיו לְדֹלְקִים יִפְעַל “he makes his arrows flaming,” i.e. he shoots burning arrows. Followed by בְּ to set on fire, to kindle, Obadiah 1:18.

(2) The signification of burning is variously applied

(a), to the glow of love and friendship. Proverbs 26:23, שְׂפָתַיִם דֹּלְקִים “burning lips,” i.e. speeches which show or feign the warmest love.

(b) to anxiety, which is often compared to heat (Isaiah 13:8; Psalms 39:4). Psalms 10:2. Comp. Schult. Ep. ad Menken. i.p. 49.

(c) to the heat of persecution, pursuing, whence דָּלַק אַחֲרֵי “to pursue hotly” (in the language of higher Germany, nachfeuern). Genesis 31:36, כִּי דָֽקַלְתָּ אַחֲרַי “that thou pursuest me so hotly,” 1 Samuel 17:53. Followed by an acc. id. Lamentations 4:19, עַל־הֶהָרִים דְּלָקֻנוּ “they pursued us upon the mountains.” (Arab. دلق and ذلق have various figurative uses nearly approaching to those in Hebrew; as دلق to rush violently as a crowd, comp. letter c.; ذلق to be sharp and ready, as the tongue, comp. letter a.

Hiphil, to kindle, Ezekiel 24:10, to heat, to inflame (used of wine). Isaiah 5:11, יַיִן יַדְלִיקֵם “wine inflames them.”
