In 1Sa 9:5, in Mt 6:26 (as well as in the foll. Mt 6:27-28,31,34), in Mt 10:19, in Mr 13:11, and in Lu 12:11,22,25-26 the Eng. word 'thought' Is used in AV in the old sense of 'grief or anxiety.' Thus Mr 13:11 'Take no thought beforehand' does not mean do not think or plan. but be not burdened with anxiety beforehand.
