Psalm 55:18 (b) The word is used here to describe the conflict going on in David's life because his enemies sought to depose and dethrone him. It is also indicative of his fight with the atheists of his day, who decried and denied his religion and his GOD. This caused deep sorrow in David's soul.

1 Corinthians 14:8 (b) The word here refers primarily to the fight between nations and peoples. It is used, however, as a figure of the warfare that is constantly being waged between the church and the world or between the Christian and Satan.
