2 Samuel 3:34

34. Thy hands… not bound Thou wast not delivered up to death bound hand and foot, like a convicted malefactor, for thou wast guilty of no crime that called for such penalty. Some think that here is an allusion to a custom of delivering up, bound hand and foot, to the avenger of blood, the person who had fled for safety to one of the cities of refuge.

Numbers 35:6.

As a man falleth before wicked men The victim of jealous and desperate passions.
