EZEKIEL 21:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.”
You therefore, son of man, prophesy and clap your hands, let the sword come down twice, even three times—the sword for slaughter, the sword for great slaughter that surrounds them. The hand-clapping represents emphatic divine affirmation of the judgment and its inevitability. The doubling and tripling of the sword establishes the multiplicity and intensity of the judgment falling upon Jerusalem.
