Strong's H2837NounHebrewTWOT 773a

חֵשֶׁק (ḥēšeq) is a Hebrew noun meaning desire. It appears 4 times in 3 books of the Hebrew Bible (Strong's H2837).

Same Hebrew root (TWOT 773a)

Root family 773: חָשַׁק ḥāšaq — be attached to, love. The ASV and RSV basically agree with the av, improving Deut 10:15, Ps 91:14, Isa 38:17 (but RSV “desired to build” is hardly adequate in I Kgs 9:19 = II Chr 8:6)

See it in Scripture

1 Kings 9:12 Chronicles 8:6Isaiah 21:4
