שָׁאוֹן

Psalm 40:2 שָׁאוֹן֮ roaring

He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.

Here: Describes the pit: a pit "of roaring", meaning crashing water or the noise of chaos. Some take it from a related root and read "of ruin/desolation". Either way it is a place of terror, not a quiet hole.

Psalm 65:7 שְׁא֣וֹן שְׁא֥וֹן [the] uproar of

You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.

Here: The crashing roar of water. Elsewhere the same word is used for the din of battle and of crowds. Here it is the thing God hushes.

Psalm 74:23 שְׁא֥וֹן [the] uproar of

Do not disregard the clamor of Your adversaries, the uproar of Your enemies that ascends continually.

Isaiah 5:14 וּשְׁאוֹנָ֖הּ and uproar its

Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s nobles and masses, her revelers and carousers!

Here: 'Her din,' the racket of the party crowd. It sounds almost like 'Sheol' (sheʾôl / sheʾôn), so the noise is swallowed by the thing its name echoes.

Isaiah 13:4 שְׁא֞וֹן an uproar of

Listen, a tumult on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations gathered together! The LORD of Hosts is mobilizing an army for war.

Here: A harder word than the first: the crash of surf or the din of battle. The rumble has become an uproar.

Isaiah 17:12 וּשְׁא֣וֹן כִּשְׁא֛וֹן and [the] uproar of, like [the] uproar of

Alas, the tumult of many peoples; they rage like the roaring seas and clamoring nations; they rumble like the crashing of mighty waters.

Here: The second half starts a new noise word: the crashing din of surf or of battle. It matches hămôn in the first half.

Isaiah 17:13 כִּשְׁא֞וֹן like [the] uproar of

The nations rage like the rush of many waters. He rebukes them, and they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweeds before a gale.

Here: 'Like the roar of' — the crashing noise of surf or floodwater, also the din of an army on the move. Sound is the point: the nations are heard before they are seen.

Isaiah 24:8 שְׁא֣וֹן [the] uproar of

The joyful tambourines have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful harp is silent.

Isaiah 25:5 שְׁא֥וֹן [the] uproar of

like heat in a dry land. You subdue the uproar of foreigners. As the shade of a cloud cools the heat, so the song of the ruthless is silenced.

Isaiah 66:6 שָׁאוֹן֙ an uproar

Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the LORD, repaying His enemies what they deserve!

The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth because the LORD brings a charge against the nations. He brings judgment on all mankind and puts the wicked to the sword,’” declares the LORD.

Jeremiah 46:17 שָׁא֔וֹן [is] a noise

There they will cry out: ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt was all noise; he has let the appointed time pass him by.’

Jeremiah 48:45 שָׁאֽוֹן׃ uproar

“Those who flee will stand helpless in Heshbon’s shadow, because fire has gone forth from Heshbon and a flame from within Sihon. It devours the foreheads of Moab and the skulls of the sons of tumult.

Jeremiah 51:55 שְׁא֖וֹן [the] uproar of

For the LORD will destroy Babylon; He will silence her mighty voice. The waves will roar like great waters; the tumult of their voices will resound.

Here: The crashing din of seas and of marching armies. Isaiah 17:12 and Psalm 65:7 use it for both at once, and that double sense is meant here.

Hosea 10:14 שָׁאוֹן֮ an uproar

the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be demolished as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel in the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces along with their children.

Here: The crashing roar of an army attacking, like the noise of breaking waves. It is the first sound of disaster: a war-cry going up inside the country.

Amos 2:2 בְּשָׁאוֹן֙ in uproar

So I will send fire against Moab to consume the citadels of Kerioth. Moab will die in tumult, amid war cries and the sound of the ram’s horn.
