Where in the Bible does it talk about people coming and going?

Answer 1

There are 7 references to "coming and going" in the King James version of The Bible.

1Sa 29:6 Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.

2Sa 3:25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.

2Ki 19:27 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.

Psa 121:8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Isa 37:28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.

Mar 6:31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

Act 9:28 And he was with them coming in and going outat Jerusalem.

If the question is really something along the lines of what it means, (eg in 1Kings 3:7, that is slightly different:

1Ki 3:7 KJ And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant [ie Solomon] king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.

If this is the case, compare it with different translations and paraphrases to see if that helps:-

(CEV) [Contemporary English Version]

LORD God, I'm your servant, and you've made me king in my father's place. But I'm very young and know so little about being a leader.

(GNB) [Good News Bible]

O LORD God, you have let me succeed my father as king, even though I am very young and don't know how to rule.

(NET)

Now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in my father David's place, even though I am only a young man and am inexperienced.

(MSG) [The Message] (NB This is a paraphrase):

"And now here I am: GOD, my God, you have made me, your servant, ruler of the kingdom in place of David my father.I'm too young for this, a mere child! I don't know the ropes, hardly know the 'ins' and 'outs' of this job.

Hope this helps.
