It is typically translated as "how" or "where" in English. This word is used in contexts that convey a deep sense of inquiry or concern, often in situations of distress or confusion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, questions were a significant part of dialogue and teaching, often used to provoke thought or reflection. The use of "eykoh" in the Hebrew Bible reflects a cultural emphasis on seeking understanding and expressing emotional depth. The word is often found in poetic and prophetic literature, where it conveys the speaker's emotional state and desire for clarity or divine intervention.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֵיכוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/6-13.htm">2 Kings 6:13</a> Qr where? see <font class="hebrew2">אֵיכָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>3</b></font> above <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>where <p>Probably a variation for <a href="/hebrew/349.htm">'eyk</a>, but not as an interogative; where -- where. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/349.htm">'eyk</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>אֵיכֹ֣ה איכה ’ê·ḵōh ’êḵōh eiChoh<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/2_kings/6-13.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">2 Kings 6:13</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/2_kings/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">לְכ֤וּ וּרְאוּ֙ <b> אֵיכֹ֣ה </b> ה֔וּא וְאֶשְׁלַ֖ח</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/2_kings/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and see <span class="itali">where</span> he is, that I may send<br><a href="/kjvs/2_kings/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and spy <span class="itali">where</span> he [is], that I may send<br><a href="/interlinear/2_kings/6-13.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Go and see <span class="itali">where</span> I may send<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_351.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_351.htm">Strong's Hebrew 351<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/eichoh_351.htm">’ê·ḵōh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/350.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="350"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="350" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/351a.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="351a"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="351a" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
