'Pregnant' in the Bible
Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas’s wife, was pregnant and about to give birth; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she kneeled down and gave birth, for her pains came upon her.
The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, “I am pregnant.”
As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth,She writhes and cries out in her labor pains,Thus were we before You, O Lord.
We were pregnant, we writhed in labor,We gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth,Nor were inhabitants of the world born.
Because he did not kill me before birth,So that my mother would have been my grave,And her womb ever pregnant.
Samaria will be held guilty,For she has rebelled against her God.They will fall by the sword,Their little ones will be dashed in pieces,And their pregnant women will be ripped open.
Thus says the Lord,“For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon and for fourI will not revoke its punishment,Because they ripped open the pregnant women of GileadIn order to enlarge their borders.
