It is often used metaphorically to describe the act of overwhelming or defeating an enemy, or the experience of being broken in spirit or body. The term can also imply a sense of oppression or being brought low.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical strength and the ability to crush or defeat one's enemies were highly valued traits, often associated with divine favor and protection. The imagery of crushing or breaking was commonly used in the context of warfare, where victory was seen as a sign of God's blessing. Additionally, the concept of being "crushed" in spirit was understood as a profound experience of suffering or humiliation, often leading to a deeper reliance on God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to astonish, astound<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dismayed (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">דָּהַם</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>astonish, astound</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb018702.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb018703.gif">) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Niph`al</b></font> <em>Participle</em> <font class="hebrew2">כְּאִישׁ נִדְהָם</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/14-9.htm">Jeremiah 14:9</a> <em>like a man astounded</em> ("" <font class="hebrew2">כְּגִבּוֺר לֹא יוכל להושׁיע</font>);
