Valiant, Valiantly
Valiant, Valiantly
valyant, valyant-li (, hayil; , ischuros): Valiant in the Old Testament is for the most part the translation of hayil, power, or might, and is applied to the courageous and to men of war (mighty men of valor), as in 1Sa 14:52; 1Sa 31:12; 2Sa 11:16, etc.; in some passages ben hayil, a son of might (Jdg 21:10; 1Sa 18:17; 2Sa 2:7, etc.). A few other Hebrew words (gibbor, etc.) are thus rendered. In the New Testament the word occurs once in the King James Version (Heb 11:34, valiant in fight; the Revised Version (British and American) mighty in war). Valiantly is the translation of the same Hebrew word (Num 24:18; Psa 60:12, etc.); in one case in the King James Version of hazak (1Ch 19:13, the American Standard Revised Version play the man, the English Revised Version men). In some instances the Revised Version (British and American) has variations, as man of valor for valiant man (1Sa 16:18), valiant for strong (1Ch 26:7, 1Ch 26:9; Jer 48:14, etc.).
