(2) to let go, i.q. to disperse, to spread abroad; compare נִשְׁמַט; 1 Samuel 30:16, נְטֻשִׁים “spread abroad;” Intrans. to spread oneself. 1 Samuel 4:2, וַתִּטּשׁ הַמִּלְחָמָה “and the battle spread itself;” compare Niph. No. 1.
(3) to commit to the care of any one; followed by עַל 1 Samuel 17:20, 22 1 Samuel 17:22, 28 1 Samuel 17:28.
