frē´kwent ( περισσοτέρως , perissotérōs ): "Frequent," adjective (from Latin frequens , frequentis , "crowded") occurs only once in the text of the King James Version, as the translation of perissoterōs , adverb in comparative degree of perissō̇s , "abundantly," hence, "more abundantly" (compare 2 Corinthians 1:12 ); in 2 Corinthians 11:23 , "in prisons more frequent," the Revised Version (British and American) "more abundantly"; and once in the margin of the King James Version (Proverbs 27:6 ) as translation of ̇‛āthar , "to be abundant," the Revised Version (British and American) in text, "profuse."
American Revised Version has "frequent" for "open" (1 Samuel 3:1 , "The word of Yahweh was precious (margin, rare) in those days; there was no frequent vision," margin "(Hebrew) widely spread" (the word is pārac , "to break forth," "to scatter," etc.). the English Revised Version retains "open," with "frequent, Hebrew widely spread" in the margin. "Frequent" (the verb) does not occur.
