4 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “enemy” →
Thy right hand, O LORD , is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD , hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
