See also 1 Sam. 27: 6- 10; 30; Hos. 4: 2; 6: 9). Robbers infested Judea in our Lord' s time ( Luke 10: 30; John 18: 40; Acts 5: 36, 37; 21: 38; 2 Cor. 11: 26). The words of the Authorized Version, " counted it not robbery to be equal," etc. ( Phil. 2: 6, 7), are better rendered in the Revised Version, " counted it not a prize to be on an equality," etc., i. e., " did not look upon equality with God as a prize which must not slip from his grasp" = " did not cling with avidity to the prerogatives of his divine majesty; did not ambitiously display his equality with God." " Robbers of churches" should be rendered, as in the Revised Version, " of temples." In the temple at Ephesus there was a great treasure- chamber, and as all that was laid up there was under the guardianship of the goddess Diana, to steal from such a place would be sacrilege ( Acts 19: 37). ROBBERY, crimes. The felonious and forcible taking from the person of another, goods or money to any value, by violence or putting him in fear. 4 Bl. Com. 243 1 Bald. 102. 2. By " taking from the person" is meant not only the immediate taking from his person, but also from his presence when it is done with violence and against his consent. 1 Hale, P. C. 533; 2 Russ. Crimes, 61. The taking must be by violence or putting the owner in fear, but both these circumstances need not concur, for if a man should be knocked down and then robbed while be is insensible, the offence is still a robbery. 4 Binn. R. 379. And if the party be put in fear by threats and then robbed, it is not necessary there should be any greater violence. 3. This offence differs from a larceny from the person in this, that in the latter, there is no violence, while in the former the crime is incomplete without an actual or constructive force. Id. Vide 2 Swift' s Dig. 298. Prin. Pen. Law, ch. 22, Sec. 4, p. 285; and Carrying away; Invito Domino; Larceny; Taking.
