And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.
Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity,
And walketh with wicked men.
A naughty person, a wicked man,
Walketh with a froward mouth.
There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the Lord,
A wicked counseller.
A naughty person, a wicked man,
Walketh with a froward mouth.
He winketh with his eyes,
He speaketh with his feet,
He teacheth with his fingers;
Frowardness is in his heart,
He deviseth mischief continually;
He soweth discord.
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;
Suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
These six things doth the Lord hate:
Yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
Feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies,
And he that soweth discord among brethren.
955. Βελίαλ Belíal; masc . noun transliterated from the Hebr . Belīyyaʿal (1100) meaning wickedness (1 Sam. 25:25). Belial, a word applied by the sacred writers to such lewd, profligate, and vile persons as seem to regard neither God nor man (Deut. 13:13; Judg. 19:22; 1 Sam. 2:12). Used as an appellation of Satan by the Apostle Paul in 2 Cor. 6:15 to the citizens of Corinth known for their lewdness and profligacy, “What concord hath Christ with Belial?” who is the prince of licentiousness and corruption.
Unbelievers are aggressive unbelievers. Not agnostics [or an ignoramus, the Latin for agnostic] but those who drag down others with their aggressive resistance to the Spirit of God.
The sons of Eli in 1 Samuel 19.22 were also sons of Belial.
In Judges 19.22, the worthless fellows were queers! Violent queers, like those who wanted to know the Angels that were taking Lot out of Sodom.
