They are frequently associated with the imagery of battle and are used both literally and metaphorically throughout the Scriptures. Old Testament References In the Old Testament, arrows are commonly depicted as instruments of war. They are part of the armament of ancient warriors and are often mentioned alongside bows. For instance, in <a href="/1_samuel/20-36.htm">1 Samuel 20:36-37</a>, Jonathan uses arrows as a signal to David, demonstrating their practical use in communication and warfare. The Berean Standard Bible states: "Then Jonathan said to the boy, 'Run and find the arrows I shoot.' And as the boy ran, Jonathan shot an arrow beyond him." Arrows are also used metaphorically to describe the swift and piercing nature of God's judgment. In <a href="/deuteronomy/32-23.htm">Deuteronomy 32:23</a>, God declares, "I will heap disasters upon them; I will spend My arrows against them." Here, arrows symbolize the various calamities and judgments that God will unleash upon the disobedient. The Psalms frequently use arrows to describe the attacks of the wicked or the protection of the righteous. <a href="/psalms/91-5.htm">Psalm 91:5</a> assures the faithful: "You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day." This verse highlights the protective power of God over His people, shielding them from both visible and invisible threats. New Testament References While the New Testament does not frequently mention arrows, the imagery persists in the context of spiritual warfare. <a href="/ephesians/6-16.htm">Ephesians 6:16</a> advises believers to take up "the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one." Here, arrows represent the spiritual attacks and temptations that Christians face, and faith is depicted as the defense against such assaults. Symbolism and Interpretation Arrows in the Bible often symbolize speed, precision, and the inevitability of divine will. They can represent both the destructive power of God's wrath and the protection He offers to His people. In prophetic literature, arrows are sometimes used to depict the swift execution of God's plans, as seen in <a href="/habakkuk/3-11.htm">Habakkuk 3:11</a> : "Sun and moon stood still in their places at the flash of Your flying arrows, at the brightness of Your shining spear." In a broader theological context, arrows can be seen as a reminder of the dual nature of God's character—His justice and His mercy. While they can signify judgment and destruction, they also underscore the protection and deliverance available to those who trust in Him. Cultural and Historical Context In ancient Near Eastern cultures, arrows were a common part of military equipment. They were typically made of wood with metal or stone tips and were used by archers in battle. The skill of an archer was highly valued, and arrows were considered essential for both offense and defense in warfare. The biblical use of arrows reflects this historical context, as they were a familiar and potent symbol to the original audience. The imagery of arrows would have resonated deeply with the people of ancient Israel, who understood their significance in both physical and spiritual battles. Overall, arrows in the Bible serve as a powerful metaphor for the various ways God interacts with humanity, whether through judgment, protection, or the fulfillment of His divine purposes.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Arrows[<a href="../a/arms.htm">ARMS, ARMOR</a>]<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>At first made of reeds, and then of wood tipped with iron.
