This is a number which is but little used. It may be connected with 3, but there appears to be little definiteness in it.

Acts 3:1¹Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. (Acts 3:1) speaks of the 9th hour as the hour of prayer. Gal. 5:22-23²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ²³Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22‑23) shows the fruit of the Spirit in a nine fold way. Deut. 3:11¹¹For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. (Deuteronomy 3:11) gives 9 cubits for the length of Og's iron bedstead. In Judg. 4:3³And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel. (Judges 4:3), Jabin's chariots of iron were 900.
