Round two, let's consider the origin of the word "Ambush".

The English word ambush is derived from an old Teutonic (ancient German) word meaning in the bush, with a practical meaning of waiting in a concealed position with the purpose of attacking an enemy by surprise. Ambush is used to translate the original Hebrew word of the Scriptures, pronounced aw-rab (Arab is derived from the same word, see also Assassins), which means to lurk, or to lie in wait. There were a number of recorded ambushes during Bible History.
