'Smote' in the Bible

The anger of the Lord burned against Uzza, and He struck him down because he touched the ark; and there he died before God.

So Israel came up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated the Philistines there. Then David said, “God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters.” Therefore they named that place Baal-perazim.

So David did just as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer.

After this it came about that David defeated and subdued the Philistines, and he took Gath and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines.

He defeated Moab, and the Moabites became David’s servants and brought tribute (gifts).

Then it happened at the end of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, Joab led out the army and ravaged and devastated the land of the Ammonites, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem [with Bathsheba]. Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it.

Now God was displeased with this act [of arrogance and pride], and He struck Israel.
