Clarke's Proverbs 7:26 Bible Commentary
For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her - That is, such like women have been the ruin of many. חללים chalalim, which we render wounded, also signifies solsliers or men of war; and עצמים atsumim, which we render strong men, may be translated heroes. Many of those who have distinguished themselves in the field and in the cabinet have been overcome and destroyed by their mistresses. History is full of such examples.
Barnes's Proverbs 7:26 Bible Commentary
The house of the harlot is now likened to a field of battle strewn with the corpses of the many slain.
