Why did he say "Shivisi Ad Boker [ka'Ari]"?

1.

Rashi: I set myself to endure the illness the entire night; I overpowered like a lion to bear it.

2.

Radak: Shivisi is like Samti. When I saw at night that I did not yet die, I put my time [that I expected to live] until morning.

3.

Malbim: I made myself like a lion to overpower the illness.

2)

Why did he say "Ken Yeshaber Kol Atzmosai"?

1.

Rashi: This is like "Ken Yirbeh v'Chen Yifrotz" (Shemos 1:12) - the more that I overpower [to bear it], so the illness gets stronger to break all my bones.

2.

Radak #1: The night strengthened my illness until it broke all my bones, like a lion breaks bones of an animal that it tears with its mouth.

3.

Radak #2: Some say that this is shattering of bones, due to the inflammation.

4.

Malbim: [I made myself like a lion to overpower the illness, and this caused a fever; the heat was like a lion] that breaks all my bones.

3)

Verse 12 said "mi'Yom v'Ad Laylah Tashlimeni." Why does our verse repeat it?

1.

Radak: [Now it means that] my life will finish before the end of the night, i.e. morning. (Above it meant that my life will finish before night comes.)

2.

Malbim: Above it meant that the illness will finish [the garment, i.e. kill me] before night. Now it means that the fever will finish it before night.
