The meaning of Attent; Attentive in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

a-tent' (archaic; II Chronicles 6:40); a-tent'-iv: Expresses the direction of thought and interest toward some one point. Same Hebrew word as "attend," and is used particularly in prayers (Psalms 130:2; Nehemiah 1:6).
