Definition: The word "altercated" in the King James Version (KJV) refers to a person who has committed or engaged in an act that causes serious injury, harm, or destruction to another person's life or property. This is considered as one of God's judgments on the wicked, and it often precedes judgment against the sinner by the judge. The exact context of "altercated" in the KJV text varies slightly depending on its specific historical meaning. For example: - In 1 Peter 3:20 (ESV), "He who alters his ways will be judged, and he who has an evil heart will be condemned." - In Revelation 6:14 (ESV), "And that which has turned the earth upside down is destroyed, and the age of wisdom is departed from him." However, generally, it seems to be used as a metaphor for someone intentionally or recklessly causing harm by deliberately acting against someone else. In summary, "altercated" refers to an individual who causes serious harm or injury to another person. This action often precedes judgment and punishment due to their actions in a wicked manner.
