she smote off:
Or rather, "she smote his head, then she struck through and pierced his temples:" which is more consonant to the original, and to fact, as it does not appear that she smote off his head. "And Davidª putª °¹ his handª in¹ his bag,ª and tookª ° thence¹ ¹ a stone,ª and slangª ° [it], and smoteª °¹ the Philistineª in¹ his forehead,ª that the stoneª sunkª ° into his forehead;ª and he fellª ° upon¹ his faceª to the earth.ª ... Therefore Davidª ran,ª ° and stoodª ° upon¹ the Philistine,ª and tookª °¹ his sword,ª and drewª ° it out of the sheathª ¹ thereof, and slewª ° him, and cut offª °¹ his headª therewith. And when the Philistinesª sawª ° their championª was dead,ª ° they fled.ª °" {1Sm 17:49-51} + "Then the womanª wentª ° unto¹ all¹ the peopleª in her wisdom.ª And they cut offª °¹ the headª of Shebaª the sonª of Bichri,ª and cast² ° [it] out¹ to¹ Joab.ª And he blewª ° a trumpet,ª and they retiredª ° from¹ ¹ the city,ª every manª to his tent.ª And Joabª returnedª ° to Jerusalemª unto¹ the king.ª" {2Sm 20:22}
