Along

ALONG a-long':

Corresponding to two different Hebrew words, Judges 9:25; 1 Samuel 6:12; Jeremiah 41:6, joined with "come" and "go," vividly describes a course that is taken--it emphasizes its directness and immediateness. In Judges 7:12, "lay along in the valley," probably means "all the length" or "at length."
