**The whole BDB entry:** (†תְּשֻׁעָה 2 S 19:3) n.f. deliverance, salvation = יְשׁוּעָה (formed by false anal., as if from √ שׁוע, in sense of ישׁע; most assign it to שׁוע, but no sufficient evidence for existence of such a √; cf. Köii. 200)—abs. ת׳ 1 S 11:9 + 19 times; cstr. Je 3:23 + 5 times; sf. תְּשׁוּעָתִי Is 46:13 + 2 times; תְּשׁוּעָֽתְךָ ψ 40:11 + 2 times; תְּשׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ v 17; 71:15;— deliverance, usually by God, through human agency, especially from oppression 1 S 11:9, and in battle 1 Ch 19:12 (הוֹשׁיע in ‖ cl.), = victory Ju 15:18 (נָתַתָּ ת׳ בְּיַד וגו׳), 2 K 5:1, עשׂה ת׳ י׳ 1 S 11:13 י׳ wrought a great victory, so 19:5 2 S 19:3; 23:10, 12; 1 Ch 11:14 (as acc. cogn. after הושׁיע), Pr 21:31 ψ 33:17 (נושׁע in ‖ v 16); הַנּוֹתֵן ת׳ למלכים 144:10; so in phr. חֵץ־ת׳ ליהוה 2 K 13:17, חֵץ־ת׳ בַּאֲרָם v 17; of national deliverance, from exile, נוֹשַׁע יִשְׂרָאֵל ת׳ עולמים Is 45:17 (DaSynt. § 67 b), 46:13 (‖ צְדָקָה), v 13 (c. נתן; ‖ תִּפְאֶרֶת); in gen. of national success and prosperity Je 3:23 Pr 11:14 = 24:6; of deliverance from personal trouble ψ 37:39 La 3:26 (תְּשׁוּעַת י׳), or of national deliverance under fig. of personal ψ 40:11 (‖ אֱמוּנָֽתְךָ), v 17; 71:15 (‖ צְדָקָה), so י׳ תְּשׁוּעְתִי 38:23; contrasted with י׳’s deliverance is תְּשׁוּעַת אָדָם deliverance of (through) man ψ 60:13 = 108:13, cf. 146:3 more exclusively spiritual in sense, = salvation, appear to be אֱלֹהֵי תְשׁוּעָתִי ψ 51:16, 119:41 (‖ חֲסָדֶךָ), v 81, and כֹּהֲנֶיךָ יִלְבְּשׁוּ ת׳ 2 Ch 6:41 (from כהניה אלבישׁ יֵשַׁע ψ 132:16).
