woman: Jdg 9:15, Jdg 9:20; Sa2 11:21, Sa2 20:21; Job 31:3; Jer 49:20, Jer 50:45 and all to: An antiquated expression, meaning "full intention" to complete an object. "All to," observes Dr. Johnson, "is a particle of mere enforcement." The original is wattaritz eth gulgalto, which is simply as the LXX render και εκλασε το κρανιον αυτου, "and she brake his skull." Plutarch relates, that Pyrrhus was killed at the siege of Thebes, by a piece of a tile, which a woman threw upon his head. Judges 9:54
