'Childhood' in the Bible

And now, here is the king walking before you. As for me, I am old and gray, and here are my sons with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day.

He who pampers his slave from childhoodWill find him to be a son in the end.

(The Chorus)“Who is this coming up from the wildernessLeaning upon her beloved?”

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under [the control and authority of] a tutor and disciplinarian.

and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings (Hebrew Scriptures) which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus [surrendering your entire self to Him and having absolute confidence in His wisdom, power and goodness].
