churl

in Isaiah 32:5 (Revised King James Version marginal notes, “crafty”), means a deceiver

In 1 Samuel 25:3, the word “churlish” denotes a man that is coarse and ill-natured, rude and harsh, as the word literally means, “hard.” The same Greek word as used by the Septuagint here is found in Matthew 25:24, and there is translated “hard.”
