whelps <2SA17 -8> For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and
his men, that they [be] mighty men, and they [be] chafed in
their minds, as a bear robbed of her {whelps} in the field: and
thy father [is] a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
whelps The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and
the stout lion's {whelps} are scattered abroad.
whelps The lion's {whelps} have not trodden it, nor
the fierce lion passed by it.
whelps Let a bear robbed of her {whelps} meet a man,
rather than a fool in his folly.
whelps They shall roar together like lions: they
shall yell as lions' {whelps}.
whelps And say, What [is] thy mother? A lioness: she
lay down among lions, she nourished her {whelps} among young
lions.
whelps And she brought up one of her {whelps}: it
became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it
devoured men.
whelps Now when she saw that she had waited, [and]
her hope was lost, then she took another of her {whelps}, [and]
made him a young lion.
whelps I will meet them as a bear [that is] bereaved
[of her {whelps}], and will rend the caul of their heart, and
there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear
them.
whelps The lion did tear in pieces enough for his
{whelps}, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes
with prey, and his dens with ravin.
