'Beat' in the Bible

Then loud was the beat of the horses' hooves from the galloping, galloping war steeds!

And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.

And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.

Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
