To owe; to be under obligation for. [Obs.] [bd]By the             faith I shall to God[b8] --Court of Love.          2. To be obliged; must. [Obs.] [bd]Me athinketh [I am sorry]             that I shall rehearse it her.[b8] --Chaucer.          3. As an auxiliary, shall indicates a duty or necessity whose             obligation is derived from the person speaking; as, you             shall go; he shall go; that is, I order or promise your             going. It thus ordinarily expresses, in the second and             third persons, a command, a threat, or a promise. If the             auxillary be emphasized, the command is made more             imperative, the promise or that more positive and sure. It             is also employed in the language of prophecy; as, [bd]the             day shall come when . . ., [b8] since a promise or threat             and an authoritative prophecy nearly coincide in             significance. In shall with the first person, the             necessity of the action is sometimes implied as residing             elsewhere than in the speaker; as, I shall suffer; we             shall see; and there is always a less distinct and             positive assertion of his volition than is indicated by             will. [bd]I shall go[b8] implies nearly a simple futurity;             more exactly, a foretelling or an expectation of my going,             in which, naturally enough, a certain degree of plan or             intention may be included; emphasize the shall, and the             event is described as certain to occur, and the expression             approximates in meaning to our emphatic [bd]I will go.[b8]             In a question, the relation of speaker and source of             obligation is of course transferred to the person             addressed; as, [bd]Shall you go?[b8] (answer, [bd]I shall             go[b8]); [bd]Shall he go?[b8] i. e., [bd]Do you require or             promise his going?[b8] (answer, [bd]He shall go[b8].) The             same relation is transferred to either second or third             person in such phrases as [bd]You say, or think, you shall             go;[b8] [bd]He says, or thinks, he shall go.[b8] After a             conditional conjunction (as if, whether) shall is used in             all persons to express futurity simply; as, if I, you, or             he shall say they are right. Should is everywhere used in             the same connection and the same senses as shall, as its             imperfect. It also expresses duty or moral obligation; as,             he should do it whether he will or not. In the early             English, and hence in our English Bible, shall is the             auxiliary mainly used, in all the persons, to express             simple futurity. (Cf. {Will}, v. t.) Shall may be used             elliptically; thus, with an adverb or other word             expressive of motion go may be omitted. [bd]He to England             shall along with you.[b8] --Shak.          Note: Shall and will are often confounded by inaccurate                speakers and writers. Say: I shall be glad to see you.                Shall I do this? Shall I help you? (not Will I do                this?) See {Will}.

Skill is more                   intelligent, denoting familiar knowledge united to                   readiness of performance. Dexterity, when applied to                   the body, is more mechanical, and refers to habitual                   ease of execution. Adroitness involves the same image                   with dexterity, and differs from it as implaying a                   general facility of movement (especially in avoidance                   of danger or in escaping from a difficalty). The same                   distinctions apply to the figurative sense of the                   words. A man is skillful in any employment when he                   understands both its theory and its practice. He is                   dexterous when he maneuvers with great lightness. He                   is adroit in the use od quick, sudden, and                   well-directed movements of the body or the mind, so as                   to effect the object he has in view.

SAIL /sayl/, not /S-A-I-L/ n.   1. The Stanford Artificial    Intelligence Lab.   An important site in the early development of    LISP; with the MIT AI Lab, BBN, CMU, XEROX PARC, and the Unix    community, one of the major wellsprings of technical innovation and    hacker-culture traditions (see the {{WAITS}} entry for details).    The SAIL machines were shut down in late May 1990, scant weeks after    the MIT AI Lab's ITS cluster was officially decommissioned.   2. The    Stanford Artificial Intelligence Language used at SAIL (sense 1).    It was an Algol-60 derivative with a coroutining facility and some    new data types intended for building search trees and association    lists.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
shell [orig. {{Multics}} n.   techspeak, widely propagated via    Unix] 1. [techspeak] The command interpreter used to pass commands    to an operating system; so called because it is the part of the    operating system that interfaces with the outside world.   2. More    generally, any interface program that mediates access to a special    resource or {server} for convenience, efficiency, or security    reasons; for this meaning, the usage is usually `a shell around'    whatever.   This sort of program is also called a `wrapper'.   3. A    skeleton program, created by hand or by another program (like, say,    a parser generator), which provides the necessary {incantation}s to    set up some task and the control flow to drive it (the term {driver}    is sometimes used synonymously).   The user is meant to fill in    whatever code is needed to get real work done.   This usage is common    in the AI and Microsoft Windows worlds, and confuses Unix hackers.          Historical note: Apparently, the original Multics shell (sense 1)    was so called because it was a shell (sense 3); it ran user programs    not by starting up separate processes, but by dynamically linking    the programs into its own code, calling them as subroutines, and    then dynamically de-linking them on return.   The VMS command    interpreter still does something very like this.

SQL          /S Q L/ An industry-standard       language for creating, updating and, querying {relational       database management systems}.          SQL was developed by {IBM} in the 1970s for use in {System R}.       It is the {de facto standard} as well as being an {ISO} and       {ANSI} {standard}.   It is often embedded in general purpose       programming languages.          The first SQL standard, in 1986, provided basic language       constructs for defining and manipulating {tables} of data; a       revision in 1989 added language extensions for {referential       integrity} and generalised {integrity} {constraints}.   Another       revision in 1992 provided facilities for {schema} manipulation       and {data administration}, as well as substantial enhancements       for data definition and data manipulation.          Development is currently underway to enhance SQL into a       computationally complete language for the definition and       management of {persistent}, complex objects.   This includes:       generalisation and specialisation hierarchies, {multiple       inheritance}, user defined {data types}, {triggers} and       {assertions}, support for {knowledge based systems},       {recursive query expressions}, and additional data       administration tools.   It also includes the specification of       {abstract data types} (ADTs), object identifiers, {methods},       {inheritance}, {polymorphism}, {encapsulation}, and all of the       other facilities normally associated with object data       management.          The emerging {SQL3} standard is expected to be complete in       1998.          According to Allen G. Taylor, SQL does _not_ stand for       "Structured Query Language".   That, like "SEQUEL" (and its       pronunciation /see'kw*l/), was just another unofficial name       for a precursor of SQL.   However, the IBM SQL Reference manual       for DB2 and Craig Mullins's "DB2 Developer's Guide" say SQL       _does_ stand for "Structured Query Language".          {SQL Standards (http://www.jcc.com/sql_stnd.html)}.          {An SQL parser       (ftp://ftp.uu.net/published/oreilly/nutshell/lexyacc/)} is       described in "Lex & Yacc", by Levine, Mason & Brown published       by O'Reilly.          {The 1995 SQL Reunion: People, Projects, and Politics       (http://www.mcjones.org/System_R/SQL_Reunion_95/)}.          ["A Guide to the SQL Standard", C.J.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Saul       asked for. (1.) A king of Edom (Gen. 36:37, 38); called Shaul in       1 Chr. 1:48.                (2.) The son of Kish (probably his only son, and a child of       prayer, "asked for"), of the tribe of Benjamin, the first king       of the Jewish nation. The singular providential circumstances       connected with his election as king are recorded in 1 Sam. 8-10.       His father's she-asses had strayed, and Saul was sent with a       servant to seek for them. Leaving his home at Gibeah (10:5, "the       hill of God," A.V.; lit., as in R.V. marg., "Gibeah of God"),       Saul and his servant went toward the north-west over Mount       Ephraim, and then turning north-east they came to "the land of       Shalisha," and thence eastward to the land of Shalim, and at       length came to the district of Zuph, near Samuel's home at Ramah       (9:5-10). At this point Saul proposed to return from the three       days' fruitless search, but his servant suggested that they       should first consult the "seer." Hearing that he was about to       offer sacrifice, the two hastened into Ramah, and "behold,       Samuel came out against them," on his way to the "bamah", i.e.,       the "height", where sacrifice was to be offered; and in answer       to Saul's question, "Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's       house is," Samuel made himself known to him. Samuel had been       divinely prepared for his coming (9:15-17), and received Saul as       his guest. He took him with him to the sacrifice, and then after       the feast "communed with Saul upon the top of the house" of all       that was in his heart. On the morrow Samuel "took a vial of oil       and poured it on his head," and anointed Saul as king over       Israel (9:25-10:8), giving him three signs in confirmation of       his call to be king. When Saul reached his home in Gibeah the       last of these signs was fulfilled, and the Sprit of God came       upon him, and "he was turned into another man." The simple       countryman was transformed into the king of Israel, a remarkable       change suddenly took place in his whole demeanour, and the       people said in their astonishment, as they looked on the       stalwart son of Kish, "Is Saul also among the prophets?", a       saying which passed into a "proverb." (Comp. 19:24.)                The intercourse between Saul and Samuel was as yet unknown to       the people. The "anointing" had been in secret. But now the time       had come when the transaction must be confirmed by the nation.       Samuel accordingly summoned the people to a solemn assembly       "before the Lord" at Mizpeh. Here the lot was drawn (10:17-27),       and it fell upon Saul, and when he was presented before them,       the stateliest man in all Israel, the air was rent for the first       time in Israel by the loud cry, "God save the king!" He now       returned to his home in Gibeah, attended by a kind of bodyguard,       "a band of men whose hearts God had touched." On reaching his       home he dismissed them, and resumed the quiet toils of his       former life.                Soon after this, on hearing of the conduct of Nahash the       Ammonite at Jabeshgilead (q.v.), an army out of all the tribes       of Israel rallied at his summons to the trysting-place at Bezek,       and he led them forth a great army to battle, gaining a complete       victory over the Ammonite invaders at Jabesh (11:1-11). Amid the       universal joy occasioned by this victory he was now fully       recognized as the king of Israel. At the invitation of Samuel       "all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king       before the Lord in Gilgal." Samuel now officially anointed him       as king (11:15). Although Samuel never ceased to be a judge in       Israel, yet now his work in that capacity practically came to an       end.                Saul now undertook the great and difficult enterprise of       freeing the land from its hereditary enemies the Philistines,       and for this end he gathered together an army of 3,000 men (1       Sam. 13:1, 2). The Philistines were encamped at Geba. Saul, with       2,000 men, occupied Michmash and Mount Bethel; while his son       Jonathan, with 1,000 men, occupied Gibeah, to the south of Geba,       and seemingly without any direction from his father "smote" the       Philistines in Geba. Thus roused, the Philistines, who gathered       an army of 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen, and "people as       the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude," encamped in       Michmash, which Saul had evacuated for Gilgal. Saul now tarried       for seven days in Gilgal before making any movement, as Samuel       had appointed (10:8); but becoming impatient on the seventh day,       as it was drawing to a close, when he had made an end of       offering the burnt offering, Samuel appeared and warned him of       the fatal consequences of his act of disobedience, for he had       not waited long enough (13:13, 14).                When Saul, after Samuel's departure, went out from Gilgal with       his 600 men, his followers having decreased to that number       (13:15), against the Philistines at Michmash (q.v.), he had his       head-quarters under a pomegrante tree at Migron, over against       Michmash, the Wady esSuweinit alone intervening. Here at       Gibeah-Geba Saul and his army rested, uncertain what to do.       Jonathan became impatient, and with his armour-bearer planned an       assault against the Philistines, unknown to Saul and the army       (14:1-15). Jonathan and his armour-bearer went down into the       wady, and on their hands and knees climbed to the top of the       narrow rocky ridge called Bozez, where was the outpost of the       Philistine army. They surprised and then slew twenty of the       Philistines, and immediately the whole host of the Philistines       was thrown into disorder and fled in great terror. "It was a       very great trembling;" a supernatural panic seized the host.       Saul and his 600 men, a band which speedily increased to 10,000,       perceiving the confusion, pursued the army of the Philistines,       and the tide of battle rolled on as far as to Bethaven, halfway       between Michmash and Bethel. The Philistines were totally       routed. "So the Lord saved Israel that day." While pursuing the       Philistines, Saul rashly adjured the people, saying, "Cursed be       the man that eateth any food until evening." But though faint       and weary, the Israelites "smote the Philistines that day from       Michmash to Aijalon" (a distance of from 15 to 20 miles).       Jonathan had, while passing through the wood in pursuit of the       Philistines, tasted a little of the honeycomb which was abundant       there (14:27). This was afterwards discovered by Saul (ver. 42),       and he threatened to put his son to death. The people, however,       interposed, saying, "There shall not one hair of his head fall       to the ground." He whom God had so signally owned, who had       "wrought this great salvation in Israel," must not die. "Then       Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines       went to their own place" (1 Sam. 14:24-46); and thus the       campaign against the Philistines came to an end. This was Saul's       second great military success.                Saul's reign, however, continued to be one of almost constant       war against his enemies round about (14:47, 48), in all of which       he proved victorious. The war against the Amalekites is the only       one which is recorded at length (1 Sam. 15). These oldest and       hereditary (Ex. 17:8; Num. 14:43-45) enemies of Israel occupied       the territory to the south and south-west of Palestine. Samuel       summoned Saul to execute the "ban" which God had pronounced       (Deut. 25:17-19) on this cruel and relentless foe of Israel. The       cup of their iniquity was now full. This command was "the test       of his moral qualification for being king." Saul proceeded to       execute the divine command; and gathering the people together,       marched from Telaim (1 Sam. 15:4) against the Amalekites, whom       he smote "from Havilah until thou comest to Shur," utterly       destroying "all the people with the edge of the sword", i.e.,       all that fell into his hands. He was, however, guilty of       rebellion and disobedience in sparing Agag their king, and in       conniving at his soldiers' sparing the best of the sheep and       cattle; and Samuel, following Saul to Gilgal, in the Jordan       valley, said unto him, "Because thou hast rejected the word of       the Lord, he also hath rejected thee from being king" (15:23).       The kingdom was rent from Saul and was given to another, even to       David, whom the Lord chose to be Saul's successor, and whom       Samuel anointed (16:1-13). From that day "the spirit of the Lord       departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled       him." He and Samuel parted only to meet once again at one of the       schools of the prophets.                David was now sent for as a "cunning player on an harp" (1       Sam. 16:16, 18), to play before Saul when the evil spirit       troubled him, and thus was introduced to the court of Saul. He       became a great favourite with the king. At length David returned       to his father's house and to his wonted avocation as a shepherd       for perhaps some three years. The Philistines once more invaded       the land, and gathered their army between Shochoh and Azekah, in       Ephes-dammim, on the southern slope of the valley of Elah. Saul       and the men of Israel went forth to meet them, and encamped on       the northern slope of the same valley which lay between the two       armies. It was here that David slew Goliath of Gath, the       champion of the Philistines (17:4-54), an exploit which led to       the flight and utter defeat of the Philistine army. Saul now       took David permanently into his service (18:2); but he became       jealous of him (ver. 9), and on many occasions showed his enmity       toward him (ver. 10, 11), his enmity ripening into a purpose of       murder which at different times he tried in vain to carry out.                After some time the Philistines "gathered themselves together"       in the plain of Esdraelon, and pitched their camp at Shunem, on       the slope of Little Hermon; and Saul "gathered all Israel       together," and "pitched in Gilboa" (1 Sam. 28:3-14). Being       unable to discover the mind of the Lord, Saul, accompanied by       two of his retinue, betook himself to the "witch of Endor," some       7 or 8 miles distant. Here he was overwhelmed by the startling       communication that was mysteriously made to him by Samuel (ver.       16-19), who appeared to him. "He fell straightway all along on       the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel"       (ver. 20). The Philistine host "fought against Israel: and the       men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and fell down slain       in Mount Gilboa" (31:1). In his despair at the disaster that had       befallen his army, Saul "took a sword and fell upon it." And the       Philistines on the morrow "found Saul and his three sons fallen       in Mount Gilboa." Having cut off his head, they sent it with his       weapons to Philistia, and hung up the skull in the temple of       Dagon at Ashdod. They suspended his headless body, with that of       Jonathan, from the walls of Bethshan. The men of Jabesh-gilead       afterwards removed the bodies from this position; and having       burnt the flesh, they buried the bodies under a tree at Jabesh.       The remains were, however, afterwards removed to the family       sepulchre at Zelah (2 Sam. 21:13, 14). (See {DAVID}.)                (3.) "Who is also called Paul" (q.v.), the circumcision name       of the apostle, given to him, perhaps, in memory of King Saul       (Acts 7:58; 8:1; 9:1).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Seal       commonly a ring engraved with some device (Gen. 38:18, 25).       Jezebel "wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his       seal" (1 Kings 21:8). Seals are frequently mentioned in Jewish       history (Deut. 32:34; Neh. 9:38; 10:1; Esther 3:12; Cant. 8:6;       Isa. 8:16; Jer. 22:24; 32:44, etc.). Sealing a document was       equivalent to the signature of the owner of the seal. "The use       of a signet-ring by the monarch has recently received a       remarkable illustration by the discovery of an impression of       such a signet on fine clay at Koyunjik, the site of the ancient       Nineveh. This seal appears to have been impressed from the bezel       of a metallic finger-ring. It is an oval, 2 inches in length by       1 inch wide, and bears the image, name, and titles of the       Egyptian king Sabaco" (Rawlinson's Hist. Illus. of the O.T., p.       46). The actual signet-rings of two Egyptian kings (Cheops and       Horus) have been discovered. (See {SIGNET}.)                The use of seals is mentioned in the New Testament only in       connection with the record of our Lord's burial (Matt. 27:66).       The tomb was sealed by the Pharisees and chief priests for the       purpose of making sure that the disciples would not come and       steal the body away (ver. 63, 64). The mode of doing this was       probably by stretching a cord across the stone and sealing it at       both ends with sealing-clay. When God is said to have sealed the       Redeemer, the meaning is, that he has attested his divine       mission (John 6:27). Circumcision is a seal, an attestation of       the covenant (Rom. 4:11). Believers are sealed with the Spirit,       as God's mark put upon them (Eph. 1:13; 4:30). Converts are by       Paul styled the seal of his apostleship, i.e., they are its       attestation (1 Cor. 9:2). Seals and sealing are frequently       mentioned in the book of Revelation (5:1; 6:1; 7:3; 10:4;       22:10).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sela       =Se'lah, rock, the capital of Edom, situated in the great valley       extending from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea (2 Kings 14:7). It       was near Mount Hor, close by the desert of Zin. It is called       "the rock" (Judg. 1:36). When Amaziah took it he called it       Joktheel (q.v.) It is mentioned by the prophets (Isa. 16:1;       Obad. 1:3) as doomed to destruction.                It appears in later history and in the Vulgate Version under       the name of Petra. "The caravans from all ages, from the       interior of Arabia and from the Gulf of Persia, from Hadramaut       on the ocean, and even from Sabea or Yemen, appear to have       pointed to Petra as a common centre; and from Petra the tide       seems again to have branched out in every direction, to Egypt,       Palestine, and Syria, through Arsinoe, Gaza, Tyre, Jerusalem,       and Damascus, and by other routes, terminating at the       Mediterranean." (See {EDOM} [2].)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Selah       a word frequently found in the Book of Psalms, and also in Hab.       3:9, 13, about seventy-four times in all in Scripture. Its       meaning is doubtful. Some interpret it as meaning "silence" or       "pause;" others, "end," "a louder strain," "piano," etc. The       LXX. render the word by daplasma i.e., "a division."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shelah       petition. (1.) Judah's third son (Gen. 38:2, 5, 11, 14).                (2.) A son of Arphaxad (1 Chr. 1:18).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sheol       (Heb., "the all-demanding world" = Gr. Hades, "the unknown       region"), the invisible world of departed souls. (See {HELL}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Shiloh       generally understood as denoting the Messiah, "the peaceful       one," as the word signifies (Gen. 49:10). The Vulgate Version       translates the word, "he who is to be sent," in allusion to the       Messiah; the Revised Version, margin, "till he come to Shiloh;"       and the LXX., "until that which is his shall come to Shiloh." It       is most simple and natural to render the expression, as in the       Authorized Version, "till Shiloh come," interpreting it as a       proper name (comp. Isa. 9:6).                Shiloh, a place of rest, a city of Ephraim, "on the north side       of Bethel," from which it is distant 10 miles (Judg. 21:19); the       modern Seilun (the Arabic for Shiloh), a "mass of shapeless       ruins." Here the tabernacle was set up after the Conquest (Josh.       18:1-10), where it remained during all the period of the judges       till the ark fell into the hands of the Philistines. "No spot in       Central Palestine could be more secluded than this early       sanctuary, nothing more featureless than the landscape around;       so featureless, indeed, the landscape and so secluded the spot       that from the time of St. Jerome till its re-discovery by Dr.       Robinson in 1838 the very site was forgotten and unknown." It is       referred to by Jeremiah (7:12, 14; 26:4-9) five hundred years       after its destruction.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Silla       a highway; a twig, only in 2 Kings 12:20. If taken as a proper       name (as in the LXX. and other versions), the locality is       unknown.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Swallow       (1.) Heb. sis (Isa. 38:14; Jer. 8:7), the Arabic for the swift,       which "is a regular migrant, returning in myriads every spring,       and so suddenly that while one day not a swift can be seen in       the country, on the next they have overspread the whole land,       and fill the air with their shrill cry." The swift (cypselus) is       ordinarily classed with the swallow, which it resembles in its       flight, habits, and migration.                (2.) Heb. deror, i.e., "the bird of freedom" (Ps. 84:3; Prov.       26:2), properly rendered swallow, distinguished for its       swiftness of flight, its love of freedom, and the impossibility       of retaining it in captivity. In Isa. 38:14 and Jer. 8:7 the       word thus rendered ('augr) properly means "crane" (as in the       R.V.).
