'Defend' in the Bible

‘For I will defend this city to save it for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.’”

I will add fifteen years to your life, and I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.”’”

Now the rest of the Jews who were in the king’s provinces assembled, to defend their lives and rid themselves of their enemies, and kill 75,000 of those who hated them; but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

Open your mouth, judge righteously,And defend the rights of the afflicted and needy.

Learn to do good;Seek justice,Reprove the ruthless,Defend the orphan,Plead for the widow.

Your rulers are rebelsAnd companions of thieves;Everyone loves a bribeAnd chases after rewards.They do not defend the orphan,Nor does the widow’s plea come before them.

‘For I will defend this city to save it for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.’”

The Lord of hosts will defend them.And they will devour and trample on the sling stones;And they will drink and be boisterous as with wine;And they will be filled like a sacrificial basin,Drenched like the corners of the altar.

So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves;
