Smiteth, i.e. killeth, as that word is oft used.

Cursed [be] he that smiteth his neighbour secretly,…. And kills him, and the murder is not known; the curse of God follows such, and overtakes them sooner or later. Some interpret this of smiting with the tongue, of secret backbiting and slander; so the Targum of Jonathan,
“that smiteth with the third tongue;”
or false accusation:
and all the people shall say Amen; as disapproving of and condemning such a practice, even slander, and especially murder.
