Popularized by the anime series 家庭教師ヒットマンREBORN(リボーン)! I have been completely unable to find any text actually using it in a sentence as other than a reference to the anime. Such sentences may exist but if so are swamped by the rest. |

【聖】 the 「Third [Fourth] Book of the Kings; the Books of Kings; 〔略称〕 Kings (I and II). ========= I think we can safely ignore the "3rd" & "4th" book entries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books_of_the_bible Apparently, what Protestants call Samuel 1-2, Catholics/Eastern Orthodox call Kings 1-2 and what Protestants call Kings 1-2, Catholics/EO call Kings 3-4. The use of 上 and 下 clearly indicates that it's considered to be a 2-book work here. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/��泣��������荐� http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/������荐� Wiki lists the Catholic/EO Kings 1-4 as: "列王記第一" = 612 hits (many of which refer to the Protestant Kings 1 not Samuel 1) "列王記第二" = 517 hits (many of which refer to the Protestant Kings 2 not Samuel 2) "列王記第三" = 5 hits "列王記第四" = 5 hits For comparison: "サムエル記上" = 11000 hits "サムエル記下" = 744 hits "列王記上" = 120000 hits "列王記下" = 110000 hits Strange that the Japanese have adopted the Protestant system, not the Catholic system. |
