What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
To summon, call to oneself, or call upon — literally to call someone to come, and by extension to invoke or appeal to someone, or to beseech and entreat them earnestly 1234. Abbott-Smith notes that in the New Testament the plain "summon" sense is rare (found only as a marginal alternative in one place), while the sense of appealing to or entreating a person (originally used of calling on the gods, later extended to people generally) is common 1. LSJ likewise records the range from summoning or inviting someone to appealing to and beseeching them 3.
To exhort, urge, or admonish — to press or encourage someone toward a certain course of action or conduct 1234.
To comfort, console, or encourage — to cheer someone, especially in sorrow or distress 1234.
In the Greek Old Testament, the passive form also carries the distinct sense of relenting toward someone, or of repenting and regretting something done 3.
