1 Chronicles 29:15 -

Of the seven other clear occasions of occurrence of the word here translated abiding ( מִקְוֶה ), it bears three times the meaning of "a gathering together" as of waters ( Genesis 1:10 ; Exodus 7:19 ; Le 11:36). The other four times it is translated in the Authorized Version "hope," either in the abstract ( Ezra 10:2 ), or in the personal object of it ( Jeremiah 14:8 ; Jeremiah 17:13 ; Jeremiah 50:7 ). Probably the word "abiding," as drawn from this latter aspect of the word, expresses with sufficient accuracy the intended meaning here.
