'Broke' in the Bible

There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. Selah.

And he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread.

And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders.

And they provoked him to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder.
