seat, sitting, dwelling place
This noun, properly an infinitive from 'sit/dwell,' denotes a seat, dwelling place, or location. It appears in phrases describing throne construction, metaphorical thrones of violence, territorial designations, and possibly 'on the spot.' The term's infinitival origin gives it flexibility across spatial and abstract domains.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Designates a seat, dwelling, or place. In 1 Kings 10:19 (= 2 Chronicles 9:18), 'the place of the seat' (מְקוֹם הַשֶּׁבֶת) describes Solomon's throne construction. Amos 6:3 condemns those bringing near 'a seat of violence' (שֶׁבֶת חָמָס)—an enthroned reign of violence. Numbers 21:15 uses 'toward the dwelling of Ar' (לְשֶׁבֶת עָר), the settlement's location. Obadiah 3 speaks of 'his dwelling' (שִׁבְתּוֹ). 2 Samuel 23:7 is obscure: 'they are burned on the spot' (בַשָּׁבֶת) or possibly textually corrupt. The noun derives from the infinitive of ישׁב ('sit, dwell'), giving it locative and abstract senses. Multilingual glosses vary: Spanish 'asiento/asiento de,' French 'assis/repos,' German 'Sabbat' (confused with שַׁבָּת). 4×
