James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Bolster


Subjects in this Topic:

BOLSTER.—This word, which appears six times in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] (1Sa_19:13; 1Sa_19:16; 1Sa_26:7; 1Sa_26:11-12; 1Sa_26:16) as the rendering of a Heb. word signifying ‘the place at the head,’ ‘head-place,’ has rightly disappeared from RV [Note: Revised Version.] , which gives ‘head’ throughout.
