CIRCUIT occurs 4 times in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] : 1 Samuel 7:16 (a late and doubtful passage, acc. to which Samuel went on circuit to various high places), Job 22:14 (RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] and Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘vault,’ i.e. the vault of heaven), Psalms 19:6 (of the sun’s course in the heavens), Ecclesiastes 1:8 (of the circuits of the wind). Besides retaining these instances, RV [Note: Revised Version.] substitutes ‘made [make] a circuit’ for AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘fetch a compass’ in 2 Samuel 5:23 , 2 Kings 3:9 , Acts 28:13 . See Compass.
