to snatch, catch (a word from someone's lips)
This rare verb describes the rapid seizing of something, particularly used metaphorically for catching words as they're spoken. In 1 Kings 20:33, Ben-hadad's servants eagerly seized upon Ahab's casual reference to 'my brother,' interpreting it as a sign of mercy. The image is of alert listeners who quickly grasp and act upon a favorable word before it can be retracted.

1. sense 1 — To snatch or catch something quickly, especially words from someone's mouth. The context in 1 Kings shows diplomatic agents watching carefully for any sign of clemency. Spanish 'tomaron' (took/seized) and English 'caught' both capture the sudden, opportunistic action. The verb appears only once, making this a memorable snapshot of ancient Near Eastern diplomacy. 1×
