3.
$
(
$ $!
, 5432), a military term, “to keep by guarding, to keep under
guard,” as with a garrison (
$
, “a guard, or garrison”), is used, (a) of blocking up
every way of escape, as in a siege; (b) of providing protection against the enemy, as a
garrison does; see 2 Cor. 11:32, “guarded.”
KJV
, “kept,” i.e., kept the city, “with a
garrison.” It is used of the security of the Christian until the end, 1 Pet. 1:5,
RV
, “are
guarded,” and of the sense of that security that is his when he puts all his matters into the
hand of God, Phil. 4:7,
RV
, “shall guard.” In these passages the idea is not merely that of
protection, but of inward garrisoning as by the Holy Spirit; in Gal. 3:23 (“were kept in
ward”), it means rather a benevolent custody and watchful guardianship in view of
worldwide idolatry (cf. Isa. 5:2). See
