I have been reading a few pages of the bible everyday for the past few weeks. I ran arcross the phrase, "He that pissesth against the wall."
And it came to pass, when he began to reign 4427, as soon as he sat 3427 on his throne 3678, [that] he slew 5221 all the house 1004 of Baasha 1201: he left 7604 him not one that pisseth 8366 against a wall 7023, neither of his kinsfolks 1350, nor of his friends 7453.
1Sa 25:22 So 3541 and more 3254 also do 6213 God 430 unto the enemies 341 of David 1732, if I leave 7604 of all that [pertain] to him by 5704 the morning 1242 light 216 any that pisseth 8366 against the wall 7023.
1Sa 25:34 For in very deed 199, [as] the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 liveth 2416, which hath kept me back 4513 from hurting 7489 thee, except 3884 thou hadst hasted 4116 and come 935 to meet 7125 me, surely there had not been left 3498 unto Nabal 5037 by the morning 1242 light 216 any that pisseth 8366 against the wall 7023.
1Ki 14:10 Therefore, behold, I will bring 935 evil 7451 upon the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379, and will cut off 3772 from Jeroboam 3379 him that pisseth 8366 against the wall 7023, [and] him that is shut up 6113 and left 5800 in Israel 3478, and will take away 1197 the remnant 310 of the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379, as a man taketh away 1197 dung 1557, till it be all gone 8552.
1Ki 16:11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign 4427, as soon as he sat 3427 on his throne 3678, [that] he slew 5221 all the house 1004 of Baasha 1201: he left 7604 him not one that pisseth 8366 against a wall 7023, neither of his kinsfolks 1350, nor of his friends 7453.
1Ki 21:21 Behold, I will bring 935 evil 7451 upon thee, and will take away 1197 thy posterity 310, and will cut off 3772 from Ahab 256 him that pisseth 8366 against the wall 7023, and him that is shut up 6113 and left 5800 in Israel 3478,
2Ki 9:8 For the whole house 1004 of Ahab 256 shall perish 6: and I will cut off 3772 from Ahab 256 him that pisseth 8366 against the wall 7023, and him that is shut up 6113 and left 5800 in Israel 3478:
I have been trying to deceifer this phrase. Could it be that they are reffering to a fool? Or could it just refer to a gender of the person/persons being killed? Any thoughts anyone?

1Ki 21:21-22 "He says, ‘I am going to bring disaster on you. I will wipe out your descendants and cut off from Ahab every last male in Israel—slave or free.22 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have aroused my anger and have caused Israel to sin.’"
King James is full of archaisms - old words that have changed their meanings. That is why it is better to read a modern translation. King James is not inspired, just the Bible. It is just a translation which has a marvelous history and influenced the world. But it is really not good for Bible study, because the meanings of the words are so obscure.
I will add a NIV to my bible study. But that still doesn't explain the phrase. Is it referring to all males or just fools?

I can't get over my amplified Bible I recently acquired, very clear, wish I had gotten one of these for the kids instead of the ones I gave but its never too late!!
The Living Translation is good, but the Living Bible is a paraphrase, which has a lot of the translators opinions added in along with the translations. The amplified Bible also has the translators opinion added in with all of the extra meanings given to the words.
