Warlike invention.And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones. And he made in Jerusalem ENGINEs, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. ( 2 Chronicles 1:1 Galatians 26:14-15 )
A noose; snare.Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set GINS for me. ( Psalm 140:4-5 )
