14 therefore the tumult of war shall rise against your people,
    and all your fortresses shall be destroyed,
as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle,
    when mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.(A)

14 Therefore a disaster will come upon your people,
    and all of your fortresses will be ruined.
As Shalman[a] destroyed Beth-arbel in wartime,

    because of your great evil—
        early one morning the king of Israel will be totally silenced.”
