Strong's Concordance deomai: I request, beg Original Word: δέομαιPart of Speech: Verb Transliteration: deomai Phonetic Spelling: (deh'-om-ahee) Short Definition: I request, beg Definition: I want for myself; I want, need; I beg, request, beseech, pray. 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).] Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1189: δέομαιδέομαι; 3 person singular imperfect ἐδητο (cf.
