From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Shark \Shark\, n. [Of uncertain origin; perhaps through OF. fr.
      carcharus a kind of dogfish, Gr. karchari`as, so called from
      its sharp teeth, fr. ka`rcharos having sharp or jagged teeth;
      or perhaps named from its rapacity (cf. {Shark}, v. t. & i.);
      cf. Corn. scarceas.]
      1. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of elasmobranch
            fishes of the order Plagiostomi, found in all seas.
  
      Note: Some sharks, as the basking shark and the whale shark,
               grow to an enormous size, the former becoming forty
               feet or more, and the latter sixty feet or more, in
               length. Most of them are harmless to man, but some are
               exceedingly voracious. The man-eating sharks mostly
               belong to the genera {Carcharhinus}, {Carcharodon}, and
               related genera. They have several rows of large sharp
               teeth with serrated edges, as the great white shark
               ({Carcharodon carcharias, [or] Rondeleti}) of tropical
               seas, and the great blue shark ({Carcharhinus glaucus})
               of all tropical and temperate seas. The former
               sometimes becomes thirty-six feet long, and is the most
               voracious and dangerous species known. The rare
               man-eating shark of the United States coast
               ({Charcarodon Atwoodi}) is thought by some to be a
               variety, or the young, of {C. carcharias}. The dusky
               shark ({Carcharhinus obscurus}), and the smaller blue
               shark ({C. caudatus}), both common species on the coast
               of the United States, are of moderate size and not
               dangerous. They feed on shellfish and bottom fishes.
  
      2. A rapacious, artful person; a sharper. [Colloq.]
  
      3. Trickery; fraud; petty rapine; as, to live upon the shark.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Haemorrhoids
      or Emerods, bleeding piles known to the ancient Romans as
      mariscae, but more probably malignant boils of an infectious and
      fatal character. With this loathsome and infectious disease the
      men of Ashdod were smitten by the hand of the Lord. This
      calamity they attributed to the presence of the ark in their
      midst, and therefore they removed it to Gath (1 Sam. 5:6-8). But
      the same consequences followed from its presence in Gath, and
      therefore they had it removed to Ekron, 11 miles distant. The
      Ekronites were afflicted with the same dreadful malady, but more
      severely; and a panic seizing the people, they demanded that the
      ark should be sent back to the land of Israel (9-12; 6:1-9).
