KJV ORIGINAL

Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

So chaos is going to break out among your people, and all your strongholds will be destroyed — just like when Shalman completely wrecked Beth-arbel in that brutal battle where mothers and children were killed together.
