From the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915). Where it reports or adopts critical theories, those are the views of its writers or the scholars they cite; Gospel Companion holds the historic Christian view of Scripture.

brol'-er (Qere midhyanim; Kethibh midhwanim, "quarrelsomeness"; amachos, "not fighting"): Spoken of the quarrelsome woman; "a contentious (the King James Version "brawling") woman" (Pr 21:9). He who seeks the office of a bishop should be "no brawler" (paroinos the King James Version "given to wine," Tit 1:7); "not contentious" (the King James Version "not a brawler," 1Ti 3:3; Tit 3:2).
