Strong Concordance | Jud 14:20 | But Samson's [08123] wife [0802] was given to his companion [04828], whom he had used as his friend [07462]. |
Word | American Tract Society - Definition |
FRIEND | Abraham is signally honored in being called "the friend of God," Isa 41:8 Jas 2:23. Christ granted a similar honor and blessing to his disciples, Joh 15:15. It is a different word, however, in Greek, by which he addressed Judas, Mt 26:50; the word there translated friend, means simply companion, and appears to have been used as a conversational term not implying friendship. The same word occurs in Mt 20:13 22:12. |
