Where it appears
Appears 2 times in the Bible.
- 1 Kings 5:4 But now the Lord my God has given me peace on every side; I have no enemies, and all is well.
- Ecclesiastes 9:11 I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.
