'Threshed' in the Bible

He seized the leaders of the city, along with some desert thorns and briers; he then "threshed" the men of Succoth with them.

So she gathered grain in the field until evening. When she threshed what she had gathered, it came to about thirty pounds of barley!

Certainly caraway seed is not threshed with a sledge, nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin seed. Certainly caraway seed is beaten with a stick, and cumin seed with a flail.

But they do not know what the Lord is planning; they do not understand his strategy. He has gathered them like stalks of grain to be threshed at the threshing floor.
