hônt , hant : The verb in Old English was simply "to resort to," "frequent"; a place of dwelling or of business was a haunt . The noun occurs in 1 Samuel 23:22 as the translation of reghel , "foot," "See his place where his haunt is," the Revised Version margin, "Hebrew 'foot'"; the verb is the translation of yāshabh , "to sit down," "to dwell" (Ezekiel 26:17 , "on all that haunt it," the Revised Version (British and American) "dwelt there," margin "inhabited her"), and of hālakh , "to go,"' or "live" (1 Samuel 30:31 , "all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt").
