It implies exerting control or dominance, often in the context of bringing something under one's authority or making it subject to one's will. The term can also suggest the act of treading down or trampling, indicating a forceful or authoritative action.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of subduing or ruling was often associated with kingship and authority. Rulers were expected to maintain order and control over their territories, subduing any threats or rebellions. The imagery of treading down enemies or obstacles was common in royal inscriptions and literature, symbolizing the king's power and dominance. In the biblical context, the idea of subduing is often linked to God's sovereignty and the mandate given to humanity to exercise dominion over creation.<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 beat out, beat down, subdue<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gone (1), spread (1), subdue (1), subdues (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">רָדַד</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>beat out</b></font>, figurative <font size="+1"><b>beat down, subdue</b></font> (Late Hebrew Pi`el <em>stamp</em> or <em>beat down, make flat, spread out</em>;
