This means that they used a battering ram to knock down the wall. A battering ram was a cut tree or large log with a sharpened end or an end covered in metal. It was held by several men who would pound the end against a wall. Alternate translation: “used a battering ram to knock down the wall”
20:15 A siege ramp was often an earthen ramp built up against the wall, a well-known tactic for breaching a walled city’s defenses (see also 2 Kgs 25:1; Jer 52:4).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
