Try The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE)

I use online resources for Bible study most of the time. I began preaching twenty years ago when nearly all my resources were in printed books - large, thick volumes. I remember doing word studies - thumbing through those large volumes, referencing and recording, etc. It used to take a long time to find what you were looking for - Not anymore! The availability of (free) online Bible resources and tools makes a huge differencee! Here's one of them. Try The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE). I use it a lot. I have several Bible tools and go-to resources - this is one of them. Here's a little summary of the ISBE from Studylight.org - "Welcome to the The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia on StudyLight.org!
