Debate
de-bat: This word is used only once in the Revised Version (British and American) (Pro 25:9). It evidently refers to the settling of a difficulty with a neighbor, and anticipates Mat 18:15. It argues for and shows the advantage of private, peaceable settlement of difficulties. Compare Ecclesiasticus 28:9, and see MAKEBATES.
