חֳלִי

Deuteronomy 7:15 חֹ֑לִי sickness

And the LORD will remove from you all sickness. He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you.

Here: The general word for being ill or weakened. It covers disease, injury and frailty, not one specific condition.

Deuteronomy 28:59 וָחֳלָיִ֥ם and sicknesses

He will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary disasters, severe and lasting plagues, and terrible and chronic sicknesses.

Deuteronomy 28:61 חֳלִי֙ sickness

The LORD will also bring upon you every sickness and plague not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.

1 Kings 17:17 חָלְיוֹ֙ sickness his

Later, the son of the woman who owned the house became ill, and his sickness grew worse and worse, until no breath remained in him.

2 Kings 1:2 מֵחֳלִ֥י from sickness

Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers and instructed them: “Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”

Here: "From the sickness": the condition caused by the fall. The word covers injury as well as disease.

2 Kings 8:8 מֵחֳלִ֥י from sickness

So the king said to Hazael, “Take a gift in your hand, go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD through him, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

2 Kings 8:9 מֵחֳלִ֥י from sickness

So Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him a gift of forty camel loads of every good thing from Damascus. And he went in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

2 Kings 13:14 חָלְי֔וֹ sickness his

When Elisha had fallen sick with the illness from which he would die, Jehoash king of Israel came down to him and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!”

Here: 'His sickness.' Pairing a verb with a noun from the same root ('sickened a sickness') stresses that this was a real, defining illness, *the* illness, and not a passing one.

2 Chronicles 16:12 חָלְי֑וֹ בְּחָלְיוֹ֙ sickness his, in sickness his

In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his disease became increasingly severe. Yet even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.

Here: 'His sickness' was 'up to the heights': the disease became severe. The word is general and does not name a specific illness.

2 Chronicles 21:15 בָּחֳלָיִ֥ים הַחֹ֔לִי [will be] in sickness<es>, the sickness

And day after day you yourself will suffer from a severe illness, a disease of your bowels, until it causes your bowels to come out.’”

2 Chronicles 21:18 לָחֳלִ֖י to a sickness

After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.

2 Chronicles 21:19 חָלְי֔וֹ sickness his

This continued day after day until two full years had passed. Finally, his intestines came out because of his disease, and he died in severe pain. And his people did not make a fire in his honor as they had done for his fathers.

Psalm 41:3 בְחָלְיֽוֹ׃ in sickness his

The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.

Here: "In his sickness": while he is ill. This is the ordinary Hebrew word for disease or illness, and it pairs with the rarer "faintness" in the first line.

Ecclesiastes 5:17 וְחָלְי֥וֹ and sickness his

Moreover, all his days he eats in darkness, with much sorrow, sickness, and anger.

Ecclesiastes 6:2 וָחֳלִ֥י and [is] an affliction

God gives a man riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires; but God does not allow him to enjoy them. Instead, a stranger will enjoy them. This is futile and a grievous affliction.

Here: "And a sickness": a sickening misfortune, a disease in the way the world works. It does not refer to a medical illness of the man.

Isaiah 1:5 לָחֳלִ֔י [is] for sickness

Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep rebelling? Your head has a massive wound, and your whole heart is afflicted.

Here: "Given over to sickness" or "has become sick." The little prefix "to/for" marks the state the head has fallen into. Choli covers disease and the illness that follows injury. It is the word in the covenant curse "every sickness and every plague" (Deut 28:61).

Isaiah 38:9 מֵחָלְיֽוֹ׃ from sickness his

This is a writing by Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:

Isaiah 53:3 חֹ֑לִי sickness

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.

Here: The ordinary word for illness and disease, as in the diseases of Egypt (Deut 7:15) or a king's sickness (2 Kgs 1:2). The very next verse uses the same word for 'our infirmities'. It does not mean mourning.

Isaiah 53:4 חֳלָיֵ֙נוּ֙ sicknesses our

Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.

Here: 'Our sicknesses.' This is the ordinary Hebrew word for illness. It comes first in the sentence for emphasis: it was OUR sicknesses. It picks up verse 3, where the servant is 'acquainted with sickness'.

Jeremiah 6:7 חֳלִ֥י sickness

As a well gushes its water, so she pours out her evil. Violence and destruction resound in her; sickness and wounds are ever before Me.

Jeremiah 10:19 חֳלִ֖י [is] a sickness

Woe to me because of my brokenness; my wound is grievous! But I said, “This is truly my sickness, and I must bear it.”

Hosea 5:13 חָלְי֗וֹ sickness his

When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah his wound, then Ephraim turned to Assyria and sent to the great king. But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.

Here: An illness or disease that weakens the body. Here it is a picture of the nation's decline: political chaos, military pressure, loss of territory.
