'Whelps' in the Bible

Hushai said moreover, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are chafed in their minds, 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 abroad.

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

They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions whelps.

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

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

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

I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.

The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with prey, and his dens with ravin.
