Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.
בָּתָה noun feminine end, destruction (for בַּתָּה, perhaps on account of difference of meaning, perhaps from analogy of כָּלָה with like sense; compare Di) — וַאֲשִׁיתֵהוּ בָּתָה Isa 5:6 and I will make it (the vineyard) a destruction, a waste, or (Che) make an end of it.
