Hmmmm, I thought I read where David said that he's never seen God's children [His seed] "B-E-G-G-I-N-G for bread"! So, yes, both the beggar & man w/ the gold ring were outsiders...just as I said originally. With all thy learning, get understanding!

Wow. Sometimes you show moments of great competence, and then it's all deducted away when you say things like this, RDP.
Are you suggesting the correct word for our English translation in the passage is "beggar" because that's one of those "denotations?" Seriously? And are you suggesting that none of God's children has ever been so poor they've had to beg for money? Have you been to Africa, Bro. RDP?
