ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Acts 12:6-7  Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his hands.

Lamentations 1:15  The Lord makes light of [‎סִלָּ֙ה] all my mighty men in my midst. He summoned an assembly against me to crush my young men. The Lord has trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.

Psalm 119:118  You spurn [‎סָ֭לִיתָ] all who go astray from Your statutes, for their cunning is in vain.
