Same with kind, as in:

"God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds"

The root word of "kindness" is race:

"Patriot. Posterity. Nation. Native. Heritage. Generation. Every one of these words is fundamentally racial."

Great find!

Barring being conquered, your king was literally one of your own who had risen to greatness - never an alien. Logically, our political rulers today ought to also be exclusively comprised of kinsmen (oy veyyyy!)

Also interesting? Neighbour. The Bible says to love thy neighbour and all that, right? Well, yes, but...

[Strong's H7453 רֵעַ (rēaʿ)](https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h7453/kjv/wlc/0-1/):
> The KJV translates Strong's H7453 in the following manner: ***neighbour (102x)***, friend (42x), another (23x), fellow (10x), companion (5x), other (2x), brother (1x), husband (1x), lovers (1x), neighbour (with H1121) (1x).

> ***from H7462***; an associate (more or less close):—brother, companion, fellow, friend, husband, lover, neighbour, × (an-) other.

H7462, you say? [Strong's H7462 רָעָה (rāʿâ)](https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h7462/kjv/wlc/0-1/):

> The KJV translates Strong's H7462 in the following manner: feed (75x), shepherd (63x), pastor (8x), herdmen (7x), keep (3x), companion (2x)

> of people as flock (fig) [...] Israel as flock (fig)

> to tend a flock; i.e. pasture it; intransitively, to graze (literally or figuratively); generally to rule; by extension, to associate with (as a friend)

...so the term typically translated as "neighbour" in the Old Testament is essentially "sheep of the same flock/fold" - not neighbour as in a geographical proximity.

Jesus even references this sheep metaphor in this way in John 10:16:

> And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

The others are far off (so obviously not neighbours geographically) but Jesus regards them as fellow sheep of the same fold.

No it isn't. It's related to ken, as in knowing. A king was essentially an elected war chief and had no power in peacetime.
