- a son of Belial:
- "Let²° not¹ my lord,ª I pray thee,¹ regardª¹¹¹ this¹ manª of Belial,ª [even] Nabal:ª for¹ as his nameª [is], so¹ [is] he;¹ Nabalª [is] his name,ª and follyª [is] with¹ him: but I¹ thine handmaidª sawª° not¹¹ the young menª of my lord,ª whom¹ thou didst send.ª°" {1Sm 25:25} + "Now the sonsª of Eliª [were] sonsª of Belial;ª they knewª° not¹¹ the LORD.ª" {1Sm 2:12} + "[Certain] men,²¹ the childrenª of Belial,ª are gone outª° from amongª¹ you, and have withdrawnª°¹ the inhabitantsª° of their city,ª saying,ª° Let us go²°¹ and serveª° otherª gods,ª which¹ ye have not¹ known;ª°" {Deu 13:13} + "[Now] as they¹ were making their hearts² merry,ª°¹¹ behold,¹ the men²¹ of the city,ª certain²¹ sonsª of Belial,ª beset²° the house² round about,ª°¹¹ [and] beatª° at¹ the door,ª and spakeª° to¹ the masterª of the house,ª the old² man,²¹ saying,ª° Bring forthª°¹ the manª that¹ cameª° into¹ thine house,ª that we may knowª° him." {Jdg 19:22} + "But [the sons] of Belialª [shall be] all¹ of them as thornsª thrust away,ª° because¹ they cannot¹ be takenª° with hands:ª ... But the manª [that] shall touchª° them must be fencedª° with ironª and the staffª of a spear;ª and they shall be utterly²° burnedª° with fireª in the [same] place.ª°" {2Sm 23:6-7} + "And setª° twoª men,²¹ sonsª of Belial,ª before¹ him, to bear witness²° against¹ him, saying,ª° Thou didst blasphemeª° Godª and the king.ª And [then] carry him out,ª° and stoneª° him, that he may die.ª°" {1Kg 21:10} + "And there came²° in¹ twoª men,²¹ childrenª of Belial,ª and satª° before¹ him: and the men²¹ of Belialª witnessed²° against¹ him, [even] against¹ Naboth,ª in the presence¹ of the people,ª saying,ª° Nabothª did blasphemeª° Godª and the king.ª Then they carried him forthª° out² of¹¹ the city,ª and stonedª° him with stones,ª that he died.ª°" {1Kg 21:13} + "And there are gatheredª° unto¹ him vainª men,²¹ the childrenª of Belial,ª and have strengthened²° themselves¹ against¹ Rehoboamª the sonª of Solomon,ª when Rehoboamª was¹ youngª and tenderhearted,ªª and could not¹ withstandª°¹ them.²" {2Ch 13:7}
