Road

Easton's Bible Dictionary 1897

(1 Sam. 27:10; R.V., “raid”), an inroad, an incursion. This word is never used in Scripture in the sense of a way or path.

Smith's Bible Dictionary 1863

This word occurs but once in the Authorized Version of the Bible, viz. in (1 Samuel 37:10) where it is used in the sense of "raid" or "inroad." Where a travelled road is meant "path" or "way" is used, since the eastern roads are more like our paths.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia 1915

rod the King James Version (1Sa 27:10; compare 1Sa 23:27).

See RAID.
