In the context of the Bible, "smote" is frequently used to describe acts of divine judgment, human violence, or acts of deliverance. The word appears numerous times throughout the Old and New Testaments, illustrating both God's power and human actions. Divine Judgment and Intervention One of the most significant uses of "smote" in the Bible is in the context of divine judgment. God often smites individuals, groups, or nations as a form of punishment or to demonstrate His power and sovereignty. For example, in <a href="/exodus/12-29.htm">Exodus 12:29</a>, the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt as the final plague, leading to the liberation of the Israelites: "Now at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock." Similarly, in <a href="/2_samuel/6-7.htm">2 Samuel 6:7</a>, God smote Uzzah for touching the Ark of the Covenant: "And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down on the spot for his irreverence, and he died there beside the ark of God." Human Actions The term "smote" is also used to describe human actions, often in the context of battle or personal conflict. In <a href="/1_samuel/17-50.htm">1 Samuel 17:50</a>, David smote the Philistine giant Goliath with a sling and a stone: "Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; he struck the Philistine and killed him, even though David had no sword in his hand." In another instance, in <a href="/2_kings/19-35.htm">2 Kings 19:35</a>, the angel of the Lord smote the Assyrian camp, resulting in a miraculous deliverance for the people of Jerusalem: "That night the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!" Symbolic and Spiritual Implications The act of smiting in the Bible often carries symbolic and spiritual implications. It serves as a reminder of God's justice and the consequences of sin. The smiting of the firstborn in Egypt, for instance, was not only a physical act but also a profound spiritual statement about God's authority over life and death and His commitment to His covenant people. Moreover, the concept of being "smitten" can also refer to a deep conviction or emotional impact, as seen in the Psalms. In <a href="/psalms/102-4.htm">Psalm 102:4</a>, the psalmist expresses a sense of being overwhelmed: "My heart is afflicted and withered like grass; I even forget to eat my bread." Conclusion The use of "smote" in the Bible underscores the themes of divine justice, human agency, and the power of God to intervene in the affairs of the world. Whether through acts of judgment or deliverance, the instances of smiting serve as powerful reminders of the seriousness of sin and the sovereignty of God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
