   Shavsha
      ("Seraiah," 2 Sam. 8:17; "Shisha," 1 Kings 4:3), one of David's
      secretaries (1 Chr. 18:16).

   Ships
      early used in foreign commerce by the Phoenicians (Gen. 49:13).
      Moses (Deut. 28:68) and Job (9:26) make reference to them, and
      Balaam speaks of the "ships of Chittim" (Num. 24:24). Solomon
      constructed a navy at Ezion-geber by the assistance of Hiram's
      sailors (1 Kings 9:26-28; 2 Chr. 8:18). Afterwards, Jehoshaphat
      sought to provide himself with a navy at the same port, but his
      ships appear to have been wrecked before they set sail (1 Kings
      22:48, 49; 2 Chr. 20:35-37).
     
         In our Lord's time fishermen's boats on the Sea of Galilee
      were called "ships." Much may be learned regarding the
      construction of ancient merchant ships and navigation from the
      record in Acts 27, 28.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Shobach
      poured out, the "captain of the host of Hadarezer" when he
      mustered his vassals and tributaries from beyond "the river
      Euphrates" (2 Sam. 10:15-18); called also Shophach (1 Chr.
      19:16).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sibbecai
      the Lord sustains, one of David's heroes (1 Chr. 11:29), general
      of the eighth division of the army (27:11). He slew the giant
      Saph in the battle of Gob (2 Sam. 21:18; R.V., "Sibbechai").
      Called also Mebunnai (23:27).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Spies
      When the Israelites reached Kadesh for the first time, and were
      encamped there, Moses selected twelve spies from among the
      chiefs of the divisions of the tribes, and sent them forth to
      spy the land of Canaan (Num. 13), and to bring back to him a
      report of its actual condition. They at once proceeded on their
      important errand, and went through the land as far north as the
      district round Lake Merom. After about six weeks' absence they
      returned. Their report was very discouraging, and the people
      were greatly alarmed, and in a rebellious spirit proposed to
      elect a new leader and return to Egypt. Only two of the spies,
      Caleb and Joshua, showed themselves on this occasion
      stout-hearted and faithful. All their appeals and remonstrances
      were in vain. Moses announced that as a punishment for their
      rebellion they must now wander in the wilderness till a new
      generation should arise which would go up and posses the land.
      The spies had been forty days absent on their expedition, and
      for each day the Israelites were to be wanderers for a year in
      the desert. (See {ESHCOL}.)
     
         Two spies were sent by Joshua "secretly" i.e., unknown to the
      people (Josh. 2:1), "to view the land and Jericho" after the
      death of Moses, and just before the tribes under his leadership
      were about to cross the Jordan. They learned from Rahab (q.v.),
      in whose house they found a hiding-place, that terror had fallen
      on all the inhabitants of the land because of the great things
      they had heard that Jehovah had done for them (Ex. 15:14-16;
      comp. 23:27; Deut. 2:25; 11:25). As the result of their mission
      they reported: "Truly Jehovah hath delivered into our hands all
      the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint
      because of us."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Spouse
      (Cant. 4:8-12; Hos. 4:13, 14) may denote either husband or wife,
      but in the Scriptures it denotes only the latter.
