1 Chronicles 11:9
And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of Hosts was with him.
BSB
ASV
And David waxed greater and greater; for Jehovah of hosts was with him.
KJV
So David waxed greater and greater: for the Lord of hosts was with him.
David waxed greater and greater, and these were his mighty men. Much of the strength and honour of great men is borrowed from their servants and depends upon them, which cannot but somewhat diminish pomp and power in the opinion of those that are wise. David is great because he has great men about him; take these away, and he is where he was.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
