Definition: The term "Alake" in the English Bible, known as a King James (KJV) translation, refers to the act or process of making a promise. This verse from the Book of Kings (2 Chronicles 19:8-10):

Verse 8

: "And Jehoiada said unto Eliezer his son, And shall it come upon me, when I make a covenant with you, that it may be known to you in all places? Then will I hear my prayer; and they shall know that the Lord is my God. For as Jehoiada had made a covenant of the LORD with the Philistines, so also he hath now made a covenant of the LORD with your people Israel."

Verse 10

: "Therefore saith Eliezer thy son, As the LORD hath heard thee making a covenant of the LORD with the Philistines, so shall it come upon you in all places, when I make a covenant with you for thy people Israel." This verse is part of an episode recorded by King David and recorded on tablets of stone by his servant Ahimelech. The KJV text was written 36 years after this event, but its meaning has remained unchanged since then. The term 'Alake' in the KJV translation typically refers to a firm or firm-minded decision that is taken or made with confidence and conviction. It could refer to: - A promise or commitment that has been made based on God's will. - A solemn or significant act that has been undertaken. - A statement of faith, trustworthiness, or integrity. - An agreement reached for mutual benefit or cooperation. In the context of the book of Kings, it is typically used as a phrase to indicate that it was done with confidence and a strong belief in God's promise.
