seeketh 词

在参与WBD的二校工作时，里面有seeketh这个词。在我的所有词典里都没有收这个词。但在WBD的例句里有这个词：
Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief (I Kings 20:7).
经与PDF对比发现该正确。

后来百度一下，发现这个句子来自圣经。
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this [man] seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.

Wiktionary 有收录，个人理解，eth 是古时用来表示动词第三人称单数形式的后缀，相当于动词后加的 s。

seeketh

Etymology
From seek + -eth, the archaic third-person singular present tense suffix

Verb
seeketh
►1◄ (archaic) (third-person singular simple present indicative form of seek)
◊◊ And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
