At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down,.... Perhaps at her first approach to him, and attempt to drive the nail, or at the blow she gave, he rose up, but she had done the business so effectually at the first stroke, that he dropped at once, and laid down his head again:at her feet he bowed, he fell; when she redoubled her blow:where he bowed, there he fell down dead; and struggled and stirred no more; thus ingloriously did this general of a vast army die.
