However, related Greek terms might include those associated with warfare and siege equipment, though they are not directly listed in Strong's Concordance. Usage: The term קֹבֶל is used in the context of military siege equipment, specifically referring to a battering-ram employed to breach fortifications. Context: The Hebrew term קֹבֶל (qobel) appears in the context of ancient warfare, specifically in the description of siege tactics. In the ancient Near East, cities were often fortified with strong walls, and the battering-ram was a crucial tool for attackers aiming to penetrate these defenses. The term is found in the book of Ezekiel, where it is used to describe the instruments of war employed by the Babylonians during their siege operations. The battering-ram was typically a large, heavy beam, often capped with metal, and was swung or driven against walls or gates to break them down. This term highlights the intensity and violence of ancient sieges, reflecting the formidable challenges faced by both attackers and defenders in warfare.
