Senses in use

  1. Rebellion in an angry insult · dominant

    In 1 Samuel 20:30, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs in Saul's angry address to Jonathan, within his insult concerning Jonathan's mother. The APB renders the phrase, "Son of a perverse and rebellious woman!"; The term's precise English counterpart cannot be isolated beyond this hostile characterization.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Samuel 20:30, the APB presents the term within "a perverse and rebellious woman" in Saul's insult. The verse is read as a whole, so it does not determine which individual English adjective corresponds to the noun.
