- Job 6:6 speaks of "the juice of an alkanet plant" as tasteless without salt, directly attesting the sense of a viscous liquid; 1 Samuel 21:13 (the verse adjacent to the sampled 21:14 excerpt) is the passage that actually records saliva running down David's beard, so this second occurrence's liquid sense is confirmed by that neighboring verse rather than by the sampled excerpt itself.
