The common weapon for discharging arrows. It is used symbolically for the hidden attacks of the wicked against the righteous. Psalm 11:2; Psalm 37:14,15 . A 'bow of steel' signifies great strength. Job 20:24 . The wicked are like a 'deceitful bow,' one that breaks when it is depended upon. Psalm 78:57; Hosea 7:16 . In 2 Samuel 1:18 David's elegy on Saul and Jonathan is called 'The Bow.' The children were taught '[the song of] the Bow.' R.V.
