Haunt
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
HAUNT . In older English ‘haunt’ conveyed no reproach, but meant simply to spend time in or frequent a place. Thus Tindale translates John 3:22 ‘After these thinges cam Jesus and his disciples into the Jewes londe, and ther he haunted with them and baptized.’ So 1 Samuel 30:31 , Ezekiel 26:17 , and the subst. in 1 Samuel 23:22 ‘know and see his place where his haunt is.’
