eye (enviously), look at with jealousy
A denominative verb from 'eye,' meaning to look at someone with envy or suspicion. The word appears in 1 Samuel describing Saul's attitude toward David after the women's song praising David's victories. 'Saul eyed David from that day forward'—a continuous, jealous watching. The verb captures the idea of keeping a suspicious, envious eye on someone perceived as a rival.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Saul's jealous watching of David in 1 Samuel 18:9, after hearing the women sing, 'Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.' The text says Saul 'eyed David from that day onward'—the denominative verb pictures the king's suspicious, envious gaze fixed on his rival. The Qere/Ketiv variation shows textual uncertainty, but all traditions preserve the sense of hostile scrutiny driven by jealousy. 1×
