And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
He shall set engines of war against thy walls - literally, 'an apparatus for striking.' 'He shall apply the stroke of the battering-ram against thy walls.' Havernick translates, 'His enginery of destruction;' literally, the 'destruction (not merely the stroke) of his enginery.'
With his axes - literally, swords.
