So today I searched my Bible on my Kindle app (free), and here are some of the verses I found with "divers."
--Prov 20:10, 23 divers weights and divers measures (merchants may have false weights in order to charge you more);
--II Sam 13:18 a garment of divers colours
--II Chron 16:14 divers kinds of spices
--Psalm 78:45 He send divers sorts of flies among them.
--Matt 4:24 sick people that were taken with divers diseases
--Matt 24.7 famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
--Mark 1:34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases
--Mark 8.3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
--Titus 3.3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures
--Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
--Hebrews 13.9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.
--James 1.2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; v.3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
I found the "divers" definition in the King James Bible Companion, a little booklet that is about $0.50 at Gullion's Christian Supply Center (locations in Winston-Salem, Mt. Airy, and Statesville, NC).
Or you can view it online, but I like to keep my booklet with my Bible.
Remember when Joshua and then David houghed the horses of the enemy in time of war? Well, now you can know what that means. =\ Well, it was war...
sMiLeS,
I love that little dictionary. I give my kids one with their first Bible (along with a booklet of maps). Most of the "archaic" words in the KJV aren't really out of use and many can be figured out by context or a little consideration. But some are hard. Like houghed, lol, I had to look that one up :) I better be careful when I send the kids out to hoe the garden!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love it too! =)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... yes, that might not turn out well!
