International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
CONVENT

kon-vent': Found in the King James Version margin of Jeremiah 49:19: "Who will convent me in judgment?" and in Jeremiah 50:44: "Who will convent me to plead?" The Hebrew term which is rendered convent is ya`adh, and it means to summon to a court, to call on to plead. Convent is obsolete, but it was formerly used, and meant to summon, or to call before a judge. Shakespeare used it several times. In King Henry VIII, Act V, he said, "The lords of the council hath commanded that the archbishop be convented to the council board."

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

2. (n.) A coming together; a meeting.
