DISALLOW . 1 Peter 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 1 Samuel 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 Matthew 21:42 , Mark 8:31 , Luke 17:25 . But in Numbers 30:5; Numbers 30:8; Numbers 30:11 ‘disallow’ means no more than disapprove , as in Barlowe’s Dialogue , p. 83, ‘ye can not fynde that they be dysalowed of God, but rather approved.’
