Strongs explanation of 1 Sam. 20:41

Last week we discussed Beth's question about why David wept the most. My Bible didn't say David wept the most, but "...and wept one with another until David exceeded." Some of the other Bible's said something else. I looked it up according to Strongs and it says that 1 Sam. 20:41 says "...one with another, until David exceeded." According to Strongs exceeded in this verse means "to twist, i.e. to be large(in various senses, as in body, mind, estate or honor, also in pride);-advance, boast, bring up, excellent, be (come, do , give, tate, +things), grow (up), increase, lift up, magnify, be much set by, nourish (up), pass, promote, proudly (spoken), tower."
The notation in my Bible says it means "controlled himself".
Hope this helps.
