Raw Blame History

carried away my daughters like captives of the sword

Laban speaks about Jacob taking his family with him back to the land of Canaan as if Jacob took them as prisoners after a battle and is forcing them to go with him. Laban is exaggerating because he is angry and is trying to make Jacob feel guilty for what he did. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole)
