'Male' in the Bible
She made a vow saying, "O Lord of hosts, if you will look with compassion on the suffering of your female servant, remembering me and not forgetting your servant, and give a male child to your servant, then I will dedicate him to the Lord all the days of his life. His hair will never be cut."
He will take your male and female servants, as well as your best cattle and your donkeys, and assign them for his own use.
God will severely punish David, if I leave alive until morning even one male from all those who belong to him!"
Otherwise, as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives -- he who has prevented me from harming you -- if you had not come so quickly to meet me, by morning's light not even one male belonging to Nabal would have remained alive!"
