There may be others.Judges 4:21 and 5:26Judges 15:15, 16 1 Samuel 22:102 Samuel 18:14 and Proverbs 7:23 2 Chron 26:14 Ephesians 6:17

The only thing that comes to my mind is when David played an instrument to calm the spirit within Saul. I know that isn't 'slaying' but it sure is control or powerful.1 Samuel 16:23
