כָּבֵד (Judges 20:34 ) fut. יִכְבַּד.

(1) to be heavy (Ethiop. ከበደ፡ id. In Arabic there is but one trace of this signification in كَبَدَ Conj. III. to bear up under any thing, to endure adversity [“and so in Syr. ܐܬܶܟܰܒܰܕ to be indignant, angry”]). Prop. used of weight, Job 6:3. Mostly used figuratively, thus

(2) to be heavy, to be honoured (Gr. βαρύς, Germ. gewichtig), Job 14:21; Ezekiel 27:25; Isaiah 66:5. Compare כָּבוֹד.

(3) i.q. to be great, vehement, plentiful, of enormity of wickedness, Genesis 18:20 of a battle becoming fierce, Judges 20:34; 1 Samuel 31:3 of a weight, i.e. a plenty of sand, Job loc. cit.

And in a bad sense

Followed by אֶל 1 Samuel 5:6.

(In Arabic also verbs of weight, such as كبر, ثقل followed by على denote trouble.) From heavy things not being easily moved, this verb is applied

(5) to indolence, dullness (Schwerfälligkeit), and to any hindrance of the use of the senses; hence to be dull, sluggish, of the eyes, Genesis 48:10 of the ears, Isaiah 59:1 fchwerhörig); also of the mind not easily moved, and therefore obdurate, Exodus 9:7 (compare קָשָׁה).

(2) causat. of Kal No. 2, to honour, to increase with honours, to render illustrious, Isa. 8:23 Jeremiah 30:19. Also, to acquire honour or glory (for oneself), 2 Chronicles 25:19.
