Hammer
Hammer: 1. Heb. pattish, used by gold-beaters (Isaiah 41:7) and by quarry-men

(Jeremiah 23:29) Metaphorically of Babylon (Jeremiah 50:23) or Nebuchadnezzar.

2. Heb. makabah, a stone-cutter's mallet (1 Kings 6:7) or of any workman

(Judges 4:21; Isaiah 44:12)

3. Heb. halmuth, a poetical word for a workman's hammer, found only in (Judges 5:26) where it denotes the mallet with which the pins of the tent of the nomad are driven into the ground.

4. Heb. mappets, rendered "battle-axe" in (Jeremiah 51:20) This was properly a "mace," which is thus described by Rawlinson: "The Assyrian mace was a short, thin weapon, and must either have been made of a very tough wood or (and this is more probable) of metal. It had an ornamented head, which was sometimes very beautifully modelled, and generally a strap or string at the lower end by which it could be grasped with greater firmness."
