'Slays' in the Bible

But you shall do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no sin worthy of death, for this is the same as when a man attacks his neighbor and murders him.

‘Cursed is he who strikes his neighbor in secret.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

“The Lord puts to death and makes alive;He brings down to Sheol (the grave) and raises up [from the grave].

“When [His] scourge kills suddenly,He mocks at the despair of the innocent.

He lurks in ambush in the villages;In hiding places he kills the innocent;He lies in wait for the unfortunate [the unhappy, the poor, the helpless].

‘Will you still say, “I am a god,”In the presence of him who kills you?But you are [only] a man [made of earth] and not God,In the hands of those who wound and profane you.

If anyone is destined for captivity, he will go into captivity; if anyone kills with a sword, he must be killed with a sword. Here is [the call for] the patient endurance and the faithfulness of the saints [which is seen in the response of God’s people to difficult times].
