Saws [1]
Ancient Egyptian saws have been discovered, and a double handed one was found at Nimrood. They are such as would be used for wood, but there must have been other kinds, for 1 Kings 7:9 speaks of stones that were 'sawed with saws.' The inhabitants of Rabbah, when conquered by David, were 'cut with saws and harrows of iron and axes.' 1 Chronicles 20:3 . They had perhaps thus treated the captives they had taken, and this was God's judgement upon them. Cf. Hebrews 11:37 .
