Sword:
of the Hebrew was pointed, sometimes two-edged, was worn in a sheath, and suspended from the girdle (Exd 32:27; 1Sa 31:4; 1Ch 21:27; Psa 149:6: Prov. 5:4; Eze 16:40; 21:3-5).
It is a symbol of divine chastisement (Deu 32:25; Psa 7:12; 78:62), and of a slanderous tongue (Psa 57:4; 64:3; Pro 12:18). The word of God is likened also to a sword (Hbr 4:12; Eph 6:17; Rev 1:16). Gideon's watchword was, "The sword of the Lord" (Jdg 7:20).
