Team definition
To shatter, break in pieces, crush, or bruise. It is used of objects and, of persons or parts of the body, of breaking or bruising. Rom 16:20 uses it figuratively: the God of peace will crush Satan under their feet. The entry gives that lexical sense. It does not decide an Old Testament source for the image.
