2 Samuel 22:46

46 Foreigners lose their courage; ^{▼▼ Heb “wither, wear out.”}
they shake with fear ^{▼▼ The translation assumes a reading וְיַחְרְגוּ (v^eyakhr^egu, “and they quaked”) rather than the MT וְיַחְגְּרוּ (v^eyakhg^eru, “and they girded themselves”). See the note at Ps 18:45.} as they leave ^{▼▼ Heb “from.”} their strongholds. ^{▼▼ Heb “prisons.” Their besieged cities are compared to prisons.}
