The infinitive forms in Jeremiah 15:3 and Jeremiah 22:19 occur with dogs removing victims and with a body taken beyond Jerusalem's gates; the imperfect forms in Jeremiah 49:20 and Jeremiah 50:45 occur in announcements that the little ones of the flock will be taken away. In 2 Samuel 17:13 the APB renders the action "drag him down," while the Jeremiah clauses use "drag away" or "dragged away."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action as "drag him down" in 2 Samuel 17:13 and as "drag away" or "dragged away" in the Jeremiah verses. These renderings confirm the clauses' forceful-removal imagery rather than supplying separate lexical meanings.
