Archaic or poetic past tense of 'build,' used in older texts and religious or ceremonial language.
From Old English 'byldan.' 'Builded' was the standard past tense until 'built' became regular in modern English. It survives in King James Bible phrases and formal/literary contexts.
English is shedding irregular verbs—'builded' persists mainly in biblical quotations, which shows how religious texts preserve older language patterns. Future generations might find 'ran' as archaic as we find 'builded.'
