@Steve:

Response:  That is not quite what I meant.  Let me try to do it this way.

1.The verb Z'Q means to "call out."  
2. HALOT says when it is followed by an accusative it means to "call out to someone."
3. This makes sense because when one calls/ addresses, they are calling/addressing "someone else".   That is why this particular verb Z'Q is normally followed by "EL."  Because EL is used in order to illustrate this.  i.e. "I called out to my mother"   Likewise here in Zech 6:8, he is being addressed/called out too.

In Gen 20:13 you don't wonder someone else, you only call out to someone else.  Does that make sense?  Because this verb is addressing someone.

Response: I understand your point, but it is a little different that what I was discussing above.  Because KRB is not addressing someone like Z'Q is. By the way what part of Detroit do you live? I live in Detroit as well.  Right off of 6 mile.
