Exegesis
The relative clause hos ēn autō entimos {ὃς ἦν αὐτῷ ἔντιμος | hòs ēn autôi éntimos} combines a relative pronoun with an evaluative adjective in the dative, indicating the centurion’s high regard for his servant. In translation, the Greek word order is adjusted for English idiom, participial phrases are rendered with finite verbs to express ongoing action, and the relational dative is cast as direct valuation in English.
Root and etymology
“bind”
In context — Luke 7:2
A centurion had a servant who was seriously ill , near death, and the centurion valued him greatly.
