- a dead dog:
- "Then was Abnerª veryª wrothª° for¹ the wordsª of Ishbosheth,ª and said,ª° [Am] I¹ a dog'sª head,ª which¹ against Judahª do shewª° kindnessª this dayª unto¹ the houseª of Saulª thy father,ª to¹ his brethren,ª and to¹ his friends,ª and have not¹ deliveredª° thee into the handª of David,ª that thou chargestª°¹ me to dayª with a faultª concerning this woman?ª" {2Sm 3:8} + "Then saidª° Abishaiª the sonª of Zeruiahª unto¹ the king,ª Why¹ should this¹ deadª° dogª curseª°¹ my lordª the king?ª let me go over,ª° I pray thee,¹ and take offª°¹ his head.ª" {2Sm 16:9} + "Afterª whom¹ is the kingª of Israelª come out?ª° afterª whom¹ dost thou¹ pursue?ª° afterª a deadª° dog,ª afterª aª flea.ª ... The LORDª therefore be¹ judge,ª and judgeª° between¹ me and thee, and see,ª° and pleadª°¹ my cause,ª and deliverª° me out of thine hand.ª¹" {1Sm 24:14-15} + "Now¹ therefore, let not¹ my bloodª fallª° to the earthª before¹¹ the faceª of the LORD:ª for¹ the kingª of Israelª is come outª° to seekª°¹ a² flea,ª as when¹ one¹ doth huntª° a partridgeª in the mountains.ª" {1Sm 26:20} + "Butª he¹ answeredª° and said,ª° It isª° notª meetª to takeª° the¹ children'sª bread,ª andª to castª° [it] to dogs.ª ... Andª she¹ said,ª° Truth,ª Lord:ª yetª² the¹ dogsª eatª° ofª the¹ crumbsª which² fallª° fromª their²¹ masters'ª table.ª" {Mtt 15:26-27}
