'Whelps' in the Bible

And Hushai said, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are of exasperated spirit, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.

The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered.

Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man rather than a fool in his folly.

They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.

and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps in the midst of the young lions.

And she brought up one of her whelps; it became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.

And when she saw that she had waited and her hope was lost, she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.

I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the covering of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lioness: the beast of the field shall tear them.

The lion tore in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.
