'Battering' in the Bible

Joab’s troops came and besieged Sheba in Abel of Beth-maacah. They built an assault ramp against the outer wall of the city. While all the troops with Joab were battering the wall to make it collapse,

Then lay siege against it: construct a siege wall, build a ramp, pitch military camps, and place battering rams against it on all sides.

The answer marked Jerusalem appears in his right hand, indicating that he should set up battering rams, give the order to slaughter, raise a battle cry, set battering rams against the gates, build a ramp, and construct a siege wall.

He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his iron tools.
