kwes'-chun:
The noun for dabhar, "word," in 1
Kings 10:3 parallel 2
Chronicles 9:2, with "hard question" for chidhah, "dark saying," "riddle,"
in 1
Kings 10:1 parallel 2
Chronicles 9:1. In the New Testament for zetema, the synonym zetesis (and
1
Timothy 1:4, ekzetesis), being rendered "questionings" by the Revised Version
(British and American) (the King James Version does not distinguish). In Mark
11:29 for logos, "word" (so the Revised Version margin).
The verb in the sense "ask a question" in 2
Chronicles 31:9 for darash, and Luke
2:46; 23:9
for eperotao (compare the American Standard Revised Version, the English Revised
Version margin John
16:23). Elsewhere the verb is for suzeteo, "dispute" (Mark
1:27, etc.; compare Acts
6:9 ; 9:29).
"Called in question," Acts
19:40 the King James Version, represents egkaleo, "call into court," but in
Acts
23:6 ; 24:21,
"I am called in question" is for krinomai, "I am being judged."
