Here is my take on it, but I was hoping for some insight on what others thought.
The sword represents other people?s ideas/thoughts/beliefs outside of your own. The thrusting of the sword into the walls of his own house represents one taking in those outside beliefs and contrasting them with ones own to see how they measure up.
Once this has been done, the person arrives at true wisdom by mending the two opposing view points to create a fusion of the two and thus can now kill the powerful one (deception/falsehood).
