HEADBAND . In 1 Kings 20:38; 1 Kings 20:41 RV [Note: Revised Version.] this is the correct rendering of the word tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘ ashes ’ in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] . Beyond the fact that it covered the wearer’s forehead its form is unknown. A different word, tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘headbands,’ Isaiah 3:20 AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , more probably represents ‘ sashes ,’ as in RV [Note: Revised Version.]; it is used again in Jeremiah 2:32 for the sash or girdle (EV [Note: English Version.] ‘attire’) with which a bride ‘girds’ herself ( Isaiah 49:18 RV [Note: Revised Version.] , the cognate verb).
