The hiphil of שׁבת indicates a “causative process by which humans or deities cause an activity to come to an end--to make cease, to stop” (SDBH). It can be used with mirth (Hos 2:13); work (2 Chr 16:5; Neh 4:5); sacrifice (Dan 9:27); and war (Ps 46:10, cf. Isa 13:11; Ezek 7:24; Prov 18:18). It can also be rendered as "to exterminate, destroy" (2 Kgs 23:5,11; Am 8:4; Hos 1:4; Ps 8:3; 119:119; Jer 36:29; Lev 26:6; Ezek 34:25; אלילים Ezek 30:13; Deut 32:26) (BDB; HALOT).^[1]
