1The word signifies to sharpen as a Sword, or a Spear, or any instrument of Iron is sharpened (1 Sam. 13.20.) There was no Smith in Israel; but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen every man his share, &c. That word is used here, Mine enemy sharpeneth his eye like a Sword, as if he would strike me through with his eye; we say a man hath a piercing eye, when he looks very angerly.
