So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
1 Samuel 25:22 (KJV)

Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
1 Kings 14:10 (KJV)

And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
1 Kings 16:11 (KJV)

For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
2 Kings 9:8 (KJV)

Huh. And I was raised on the KJV. Somehow Mrs. Brownlee must have skipped over those verses. I just looked one up in the RSV and it's translated just as "male". I checked several translations, and the only two direct enough to use the word "pisseth" are the original KJV (not the new) and the Douay-Rheims. Interesting.
