1 Kings i. 4.  Cyril’s argument is fully justified by the actual usage of “Almah,” which certainly refers to unmarried women in Gen. xxiv. 43; Ex. ii. 8; Cant. i. 3.  The same is probably the meaning in Ps. lxviii. 25:  “in the midst were the damsels playing with the timbrels.”  There is no passage in which the word can be shewn to mean a married woman.
