ἐντυγχάνω; 2 aorist
ἐνέτυχον; generally with a dative either of person or of thing;
1. to light upon a person or
a thing, fall in with, hit upon, a person or
a thing; so often in Attic.
2. to go to or
meet a person, especially
for the purpose of conversation, consultation, or
supplication, (Polybius, Plutarch, Aelian, others): with the addition
περί τινος, the genitive of person,
for the purpose of consulting about a person, Acts 25:24 [R. V. made suit]; to make petition: ἐνέτυχον τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἐδεήθην αὐτοῦ, Wis. 8:21; ἐνέτυχον τῷ βασιλεῖ τὴν ἀπόλυσιν... αἰτούμενοι, 3 Macc. 6:37; hence, to pray, entreat: ὑπέρ with the genitive of person to make intercession for anyone (the dative of the person approached in prayer being omitted, as evident from the context), Romans 8:27, 34; Hebrews 7:25, (followed by περί with the genitive of person, Clement of Rome, 1 Cor. 56, 1); τινὶ κατά τινος, [to plead with one against anyone], to accuse one to anyone, Romans 11:2, cf. 1 Macc. 8:32; 1 Macc. 10:61, 63f; 1 Macc. 11:25. (Not found in the Sept.) [Compare: ὑπερεντυγχάνω.]
