C. F. BuRNKy. KING'S POOL,— See Poou
KING'S YALE, THE (-Vij.'i ^s, AV the king's dale). — The place where the king of Sodom met Abram, Gn 14" (t4 iriSiov PacMut). Here also the childless Absalom erected in his lifetime a monu- ment to himself, 2 S 18'* (^ »coiXds rov jSao-iX^us). See HiNNOM (Vale of), p. 388* ; Shaveh (Vale of), and Jerusalem, p. 584".
KINSFOLK.— Although 'kinsfolk'is itself plural (see Folk), and is so treated in Job 19'* ' My kins- folk have failed,' and Lk 2" 'They sought him among their kinsfolk' (iv roh avyyevicn), it is also found with an s added, giidng the irregular plural ' kinsfolks,' in 1 K 16" ' Neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends ' ; 2 K 10", 2 Mac 8' 16'* Lk 21'«. The NT Revisers have dropped the * in Lk 21", and the Apocr. Revisers in 2 Mac, but in 1 K 16" the OT Revisers have kept it. In 2 K 10" RV prefers 'familiar friends,' the Heb. expressing no icference to kinship (cf. LXX yvuffroM, the same ■word as is rendered ' acquaintance ' in Lk 2**). For the form 'kinsfolks' cf. Strype, Life of Archbp. Whitgift, 1.597, '[Geta] asked him, if those whom he had put to death had no parents, kinsfolks, nor friends ' ; and Bacon, Essays, 'Of Parents and Children' (Gold. Treas. ed. p. 24), 'The Italians make little difference betweene Children and Nephewes or neere Kinsfolkes.' J. Hastings.
KINSMAN. — This is the proper singular form
of 'kinsfolk,' with the fem. form 'kinswoman.'
' Kinsman ' is the tr" in OT mostly of Snj gffel
(see GoEL), and in NT of trvyyepri^. In Apocr.
' avyyerfi^ is so tr** twice, Sir 41^', 2 Mac 12'", and
. d5f\04s t'vvice. To 3"> 7MRV ' brother '). In Ru 2»
' AV gives ' next kinsman ' as the tr. of (j6''el ; RV
changes this into 'near kinsman,' and gives 'near
kinsman ' instead of the simple ' kinsman ' for all
the other occurrences of g6'el in Ruth. In Ru 2'
the Heb. means no more than 'acquaintance,' but
RV retains the AV translation.
Kinswoman occurs Lv 18'=- "• ", Pr V ; and RV adds Lk 1** 'Elisabeth thy kinswoman,' for AV ' tliy cousin Elisabeth,' the word 'cou.sin' (wh. see) having become contracted in application since 161 1. The Greek of TR is (rvyyei'ii^, but the weight of authority is in favour of the late fem. form avyyevii, which edd. (except Tr.) adopt.
