Martin Noth, in his 1968 commentary on Kings, wrote p. 275: The answer of the
children would be a "wahrscheinlich obszöne und vermutlich sprichwörtliche
Redensart, die eine maßlose Prahlerei mit der eigenen Kraft zum Inhalt hat",
and, less distinguished, on p. 267:
It is "zu vermuten, daß mit qTn etwas der 'Hüfte' Gegenüberzustellendes
gemeint ist; dann aber dürfte es sich am ehesten um eine Umschreibung für das
männliche Glied handeln."
But translators seem not to have learned from it...
