+'helex' is traditionally translated as "armed". However, there are a number of instances where the traditional translations render it as "deliver", which yields a rather more passive reading than may have been intended. Examples of this include 2 Samuel 22:20 and Psalms 6:4, both of which are ostensibly examples of being "rescued" by "the lord" but which actually involve the taking up of weapons. This mistake is a recurring theme in Psalms, occurring at least nine more times throughout the book((Psalms 18:19,
+Psalms 34:7,
+Psalms 60:5,
+Psalms 81:7,
+Psalms 91:15,
+Psalms 108:6,
+Psalms 116:8,
+Psalms 119:153,
+Psalms 140:1))
+Another odd interpretation is to translate 'helex' as "take away" or "remove". Deuteronomy 25:9-10, and Isaiah 20:2 are interesting examples of this. FIXME Analyze it.
