DISALLOW.1Pe_2:4, a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God; 2:7, the stone which the builders disallowed. The Eng. word means emphatically disowned, as in the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] heading to 1Sa_29:1-11, David, marching with the Philistines, is disallowed by their princes. RV [Note: Revised Version.] gives rejected, as the same Gr. verb is rendered in Mat_21:42, Mar_8:31, Luk_17:25. But in Num_30:5; Num_30:8; Num_30:11 disallow means no more than disapprove, as in Barlowes Dialogue, p. 83, ye can not fynde that they be dysalowed of God, but rather approved.
