Footnotes
The phrase *gibhor hayil* describes Kish. The root *hayil* spans a wide semantic range: physical strength, military valour, and material wealth or social standing. Here, with no battle context, the sense leans toward 'a man of substance'—someone of standing and resources in his community. FOG renders this concretely as 'mighty man of means'; FOG Message opts for 'great standing,' capturing the social honour *hayil* implies without overstating its military edge.
