Come

kum: The translation of many Hebrew and Greek words. In the phrase "The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily upon him" (Judg 14:6; Judg 14:19; Judg 15:14; 1 Sam 10:10; 1 Sam 11:6; 1 Sam 16:13), the word is tsaleah; Judg 14:6; Judg 15:14 "came mightily," which is the uniform translation of the Revised Version (British and American) (compare Judg 13:25 "to move," i.e. to disturb or stir up). In Judg 6:34; 1 Chr 12:18; 2 Chr 24:20, it is labhesh, "to clothe"; the Revised Version, margin "The Spirit .... clothed itself with Gideon" and .... "with Zechariah," "The Spirit clothed Amasai."

Among its many changes, the Revised Version (British and American) has "come forth" for "come" (Matt 2:6); "gone up" for "come" (Matt 14:32, a different text); "come all the way" for "come" (John 4:15); "got out upon the" for "come to" (John 21:9); "draw near" for "come" (Heb 4:16); "come" for "come and see" (Rev 6:1); "secure" for "come by" (Acts 27:16); "attain unto" for "come in" (Eph 4:13); and "I come" for "I come again" (John 14:28).
