["Don A. Elbourne Jr." <delbourne AT home.com>]

The construction also appears in 2 Sam 14:5, 1 kings 11:26, 17:9 and 17:10.
It looks like the word "almanah" never appears alone in the Sam-Kings
material. It is always connected with "ishsha."

> Dear Members,

> word "ishsha"(woman)?
> 2)Why doesn't the original just use the word "almanah" (widow)
> alone without the word "ishsha"?
> 3)Is there any other example in the Bible of such use of both

> Thanks in advance for your answers,
