Liddell-Scott-Jones Definitions

καταδῐώκω,

1. follow hard upon, pursue closely, Th. 1.49, 2.84, LXX Psalms 18:38(17).38, PCair.Zen. 439 (Pass., iii B. C.), Phld. Ir. p.29 W., etc.: metaph., try to gain, Plb. 6.42.1.

Thayer's Expanded Definition

καταδιώκω: 1 aorist κατεδιωξα; the Sept. often for רָדַף; to follow after, follow up (especially of enemies (Thucydides, et al.)); in a good sense, of those in search of anyone: τινα, Mark 1:36. (τό ἔλεος σου καταδιώξεται με, Psalm 22:6 (); οὐ κατεδίωξαν μεθ' ἡμῶν, 1 Samuel 30:22; ὀπίσω τίνος, to follow after one in order to gain his favor, Sir. 27:17.)

Abbott-Smith Manual Greek Lexicon of the New Testament

κατα -διώκω ,

[in LXX chiefly for H7291;]

"perfective" compound (M, Pr., 116), to pursue closely, follow up

(a) with hostile intent (Thuc., i, 49, Genesis 31:36 al.);

(b) with kindly intention (Psalms 23:6, 1 Samuel 30:22, cf. Sirach 27:17): Mark 1:36.†

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

This perfective verb is confined in the NT to Mark 1:36, where it should be translated ";pursue after,"; ";hunt down,"; and not simply ";follow after"; (AV, RV) : see Proleg. p. 116 and cf. the LXX usage in Psa. 17:38 [MT Psalms 18:38], Psalms 34:6 [MT Psalms 35:6] al., and in Pss. Sol. 15:9. The same idea of ";force"; underlies Genesis 33:13, where the verb = ";overdrive.";
