Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]
Military, "invented by cunning men" under Uzziah ( 2 Chronicles 26:15); propelling missiles, stones, and arrows. The monuments of Egyptian and Assyrian warfare have no representations of such engines. Thus Scripture is confirmed, that the invention was in Judah under Uzziah. Pliny (7:56) assigns it to Syria. Ezekiel ( Ezekiel 26:9) alludes to battering rams, mehhi qaballo , "a striking of that which is in front," whether with a battering ram, or balista, or catapult; "he shall set an apparatus for striking against thy walls"; also Ezekiel 21:22; Ezekiel 4:2, karim , translated "captains" in Ezekiel 21:22, where see margin.
