symbaínō · Greek · Strong's G4819 · 8 occurrences

The KJV renders 4 different Hebrew and Greek words as “happen”

What it means

to walk (figuratively, transpire) together, i.e. concur (take place)

from G4862 (σύν) and the base of G939 (βάσις);

How the KJV renders it

happen

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

happen
also renders gínomai (G1096), ʼânâh (H579), qârâh (H7136)
