<p>kon-klood' (sumbibazo): Used only in Ac 16:10, where the King James Version has "assuredly gathering," i.e. "inferring." Where the King James Version has "conclude," the Revised Version (British and American) more accurately renders "reckon" (Ro 3:28); "giving judgment" (Ac 21:25); "shut up" (Ro 11:32; Ga 3:22).</p>
