STRONGS G1189:
δέομαι; 3 person singular imperfect ἐδέετο (cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 220; Winers Grammar, 46; [Veitch, under the word δέω to need at the end]), Luke 8:38 (where Lachmann ἐδέειτο, Tr WH ἐδεῖτο; cf. Meyer at the passage; [WHs Appendix, p. 166]; Buttmann, 55 (48)); 1 aorist ἐδεήθην; (from δέω to want, need; whence middle δέομαι to stand in need of, want for oneself); [from Herodotus down];
1. to want, lack: τινός.
2. to desire, long for: τινός.
3. to ask, beg (German bitten);
a. universally — the thing asked for being evident from the context: with the genitive of the person from whom, Galatians 4:12; the thing sought being specified in direct discourse: Luke 5:12; Luke 8:28; Luke 9:38 (according to the reading ἐπίβλεψον R L); Acts 8:34 (δέομαί σου, περὶ τίνος ὁ προφήτης λέγει τοῦτο; of whom, I pray thee, doth the prophet say this?); Acts 21:39; 2 Corinthians 5:20; followed by the infinitive, Luke 8:38; Luke 9:38 (according to the reading ἐπιβλέψαι Tr WH); Acts 26:3 (where G L T Tr WH omit σοῦ after δέομαι); followed by ἵνα, Luke 9:40 (cf.
