It conveys the idea of something being broken down or shattered, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually. In the biblical context, it can refer to the breaking of nations, the collapse of cities, or the personal experience of distress and ruin.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "Sheber" would resonate deeply, as it often symbolized divine judgment or the consequences of sin. The breaking of a city wall or the destruction of a nation was seen as a significant event, often interpreted as a sign of God's displeasure or as a call to repentance. The imagery of breaking and ruin was also used in prophetic literature to warn of impending judgment or to describe the aftermath of divine retribution.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7665.htm">shabar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a son of Caleb<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Sheber (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> II. <font class="hebrew2">שֶׁ֫בֶר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a Calebite</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/2-48.htm">1 Chronicles 2:48</a>;
