There is no example on record of a sceptre having ever been actually handled by a Jewish king. These dictionary topics are from M.G. Easton M.A., D.D., Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Third Edition,
Insect Bites (Definition) Insect bites are from mosquitos, spiders, flies, ticks, and other species that use their mandibles (jaws) to attach to a person or other animal. They can then suck blood out of their prey and leave saliva proteins that cause itching and swelling.
First, a mosquito bite can cause irritation of the skin because of an interaction between our bodies and the mosquito body fluids. This causes a red (sometimes swollen) bump that can be very itchy. These bites have very variable healing times. For some people, a minor bite can heal in one day. For others, the bump can last for more than a week. Your bite that has been there for two weeks is right at the time point where I would begin to worry that there may be an infection in the area.
