Thanks for responding, Dan.
I was confining my search to the LXX, since I was addressing Philip's
question about the Greek OT.
Also, Philip's question was whether the vocative form of QEOS (QEE)
occurred "more often" outside the Psalms. He apparently assumed that it
occurred in the Psalms, which it does not. I wasn't checking for
variants from the Rahlf's text. QEE in Jdg 16.28; 21.3; Tob 3.11; 8.15
are variant readings, which I perhaps should have mentioned. But the
text has the nominative form. QEE in 1 Kings 14.28 is actually not
related to QEOS. It is a Hebrew word that means "room" (note the neuter
article). If BibleWorks has it tagged as the vocative of QEOS, you
should probably inform them of this.
Grace & Peace,
Steve
