It can describe the state of being weakened or subdued, whether referring to individuals, groups, or nations. The term is used to depict a reduction in strength or power, sometimes as a result of divine intervention or judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, strength and power were highly valued, especially in terms of military might and leadership. The concept of being weakened or subdued often carried significant implications for a person's or nation's status and survival. In the biblical narrative, the weakening of enemies or the subduing of adversaries is frequently attributed to God's intervention, demonstrating His sovereignty and the fulfillment of His purposes.<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 be weak or prostrate<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>lies prostrate (1), overwhelmed (1), weakened (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">חָלַשׁ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb 1.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be weak, prostrate</b></font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> (si vera lectio) weaken, disable, prostrate (Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">חֲלַשׁ</font> <em>be weak</em>;
