After spending some quality time with this verse I have come to a small 
obstacle that I am hoping someone can assist me in overcoming. In the 
KJV shalvah is rendered as prosperity. In the NIDOTT the meaning leans 
more towards negligence or inattentiveness and many of the other 
translations lean in this direction. Is there something more within the 
context of the text that I and others have missed, but the KJV 
translators did not? In a nutshell then I'm looking for any information 
about the etymology of shalvah and any recommendations for other 
resources that would assist me on my own. Oh, I also found that the 
word used to represent shalvah in the Septuagint is a word not used in 
any of the NT texts. I know that bit of info is off-topic for this 
list, but would anyone care to confirm or deny that?

Thanks,
