'Even' in the Bible

David inquired, "How were things going? Tell me!" He replied, "The people fled from the battle and many of them fell dead. Even Saul and his son Jonathan are dead!"

He said to me, 'Stand over me and finish me off! I'm very dizzy, even though I'm still alive.'

Saul and Jonathan were greatly loved during their lives, and not even in their deaths were they separated. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.

Ish-bosheth was unable to answer Abner with even a single word because he was afraid of him.

But the soldiers replied, "You should not do this! For if we should have to make a rapid retreat, they won't be too concerned about us. Even if half of us should die, they won't be too concerned about us. But you are like ten thousand of us! So it is better if you remain in the city for support."

The man replied to Joab, "Even if I were receiving a thousand pieces of silver, I would not strike the king's son! In our very presence the king gave this order to you and Abishai and Ittai, 'Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.'

He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend even the strongest bow.

From the three he was given honor and he became their officer, even though he was not one of the three.
