HELPS Word-studies

1189 déomai (from the root deō, "having deep personal need, to be in want," see also 1162 /déēsis, "felt-need") – properly, to feel pressing need because of lack – hence, to make urgent appeal; to have deep personal need causing one to beseech (make earnest, specific request).

[S. Zodihates (Dict) emphasizes the Gk middle voice meaning of this term, i.e. the personal, felt-need that drives 1189 (déomai).

L-S and Thayer find deō expresses two distinct meanings in antiquity, perhaps indicating a distinction in accent (like with the English terms, pro'duce and prodúce).]

STRONGS NT 1189: δέομαι

δέομαι; 3 person singular imperfect ἐδητο (cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 220; Winers Grammar, 46; (Veitch, under the word δέω to need at the end)), Luke 8:38 (where Lachmann ἐδηιτο, Tr WH ἐδでるたεいぷしろんῖτたうοおみくろん; cf. Meyer at the passage; (WHs Appendix, p. 166); Buttmann, 55 (48)); 1 aorist ἐδεήθην; (from δέω to want, need; whence middle δέομαι to stand in need of, want for oneself); (from Herodotus down);

1. to want, lack: τίνος.

2. to desire, long for: τίνος.

3. to ask, beg (German bitten);

a. universally — the thing asked for being evident from the context: with the genitive of the person from whom, Galatians 4:12; the thing sought being specified in direct discourse: Luke 5:12; Luke 8:28; Luke 9:38 (according to the reading ἐπίβλεψον R L); Acts 8:34 (δέομαι σしぐまοおみくろんυうぷしろん, περί τίνος ὁ προφήτης λέγει τたうοおみくろんῦτたうοおみくろん; of whom, I pray thee, doth the prophet say this?); Acts 21:39; 2 Corinthians 5:20; followed by the infinitive, Luke 8:38; Luke 9:38 (according to the reading ἐπιβλέψαι Tr WH); Acts 26:3 (where G L T Tr WH omit σしぐまοおみくろんυうぷしろん after δέομαι); followed by ἵνにゅーαあるふぁ, Luke 9:40 (cf. Winers Grammar, 335 (315); (Buttmann, 258 (222))); followed by τό with an infinitive 2 Corinthians 10:2 (cf. Buttmann, 263 (226), 279 (239); Winer's Grammar, 321, 322 (301f)); with the genitive of person and the accusative of a thing, 2 Corinthians 8:4 (G L T Tr WH; for Rec. adds δέξασθαι ἡμみゅーᾶς without warrant) (cf. Buttmann, 164 (143); Winers Grammar, 198 (186)).

b. specifically, of requests addressed to God; absolutely to pray, make supplication: Acts 4:31; τたうοおみくろんῦ Θしーたεいぷしろんοおみくろんῦ, Acts 10:2; followed by εいぷしろんἰ ἄρろーαあるふぁ, Acts 8:22 (Buttmann, 256 (220); Winer's Grammar, 300 (282)); τたうοおみくろんῦ κυρίου, ὅπως etc. Matthew 9:38; Luke 10:2; without the genitive Θしーたεいぷしろんοおみくろんῦ — followed by εいぷしろんἰ πぱいῶς, Romans 1:10 (cf. Winers Grammar, and Buttmann's Grammar, the passages cited); by ἵνにゅーαあるふぁ, Luke 21:36; Luke 22:32; by the relic εいぷしろんἰς τό, 1 Thessalonians 3:10 (cf. Buttmann, 265 (228)); ὑπέρ τίνος πρός τόν κύριον, ὅπως, Acts 8:24. (Synonyms: see αあるふぁἰτέω and δέησις. Compare: προσδέομαι.)
