Assault
Assault
a-solt (, cur; , horme): The Hebrew verbal form is used of pressing forward a siege (see SIEGE), but also of a hostile attack upon a person then translated assault (Est 8:11). The Greek word horme used of an attack upon persons in Act 14:5 (the King James Version) is rendered onset in the Revised Version (British and American). The word assault remains in Act 17:5, of attacking the house of Jason in Thessalonica, where the verb is ephistanai, to come suddenly upon.
