- dens:
- Dr. Shaw says, that a great way on each side Joppa, on the sea coast, there is a range of mountains and precipices; and in these high situations are generally found the dens, holes, or caves, which are so frequently mentioned in Scripture; and which were formerly the lonesome retreats of the distressed Israelites. "When the menª of Israelª sawª° that¹ they were in a strait,ª° (for¹ the peopleª were distressed,)ª° then the peopleª did hide²° themselves¹ in caves,ª and in thickets,ª and in rocks,ª and in high places,ª and in pits.ª" {1Sm 13:6} + "And bothª of them discovered²° themselves¹ unto¹ the garrisonª of the Philistines:ª and the Philistinesª said,ª° Behold,¹ the Hebrewsª come forthª° out of¹ the holesª where¹¹ they had hid²° themselves.¹" {1Sm 14:11} + "(Of whomª the¹ worldª wasª° notª worthy:)² they¹ wanderedª° inª deserts,ª andª [in] mountains,ª andª [in] densª andª cavesª of the¹ earth.ª" {Hbr 11:38} + "Andª the¹ kingsª of the¹ earth,ª andª the¹ great men,ª andª the¹ rich men,ª andª the¹ chief captains,ª andª the¹ mighty men,ª andª everyª bondman,ª andª everyª free man,ª hidª° themselvesª inª the¹ densª andª inª the¹ rocksª of the¹ mountains;ª" {Rev 6:15}
