It is a long, pointed weapon used for thrusting or throwing, often associated with soldiers and warriors in biblical narratives. Old Testament References In the Old Testament, the spear is frequently mentioned in the context of battle and military equipment. One of the earliest references is found in the account of Joshua, where the spear is used as a signal for attack. <a href="/joshua/8-18.htm">Joshua 8:18</a> states, "Then the LORD said to Joshua, 'Hold out your spear toward Ai, for I will deliver the city into your hand.' So Joshua held out his spear toward Ai." The spear is also associated with notable figures such as King Saul and his son Jonathan. Saul's spear is a recurring element in the narrative of his pursuit of David. In <a href="/1_samuel/18-10.htm">1 Samuel 18:10-11</a>, it is recorded, "The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David was playing the harp as usual. Saul held a spear in his hand, and he hurled it, thinking, 'I will pin David to the wall.' But David eluded him twice." Jonathan, Saul's son, is depicted as a valiant warrior who also wielded a spear. In <a href="/1_samuel/13-22.htm">1 Samuel 13:22</a>, it is noted, "So on the day of battle, not a sword or spear was found in the hands of the troops with Saul and Jonathan; only Saul and his son Jonathan had weapons." The spear is further highlighted in the account of Goliath, the Philistine giant, who challenged the Israelites. Goliath's spear is described in <a href="/1_samuel/17-7.htm">1 Samuel 17:7</a>: "The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him." New Testament References In the New Testament, the spear is notably mentioned in the context of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. <a href="/john/19-34.htm">John 19:34</a> records, "Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out." This act fulfilled the prophecy that not one of His bones would be broken and is significant in Christian theology as a testament to Jesus' sacrificial death. Symbolism and Significance The spear, as a weapon of war, often symbolizes power and authority. It is used by leaders and warriors to demonstrate strength and command. In biblical narratives, the spear can also represent divine intervention, as seen in the account of Joshua, where God uses the spear as a tool to deliver victory to the Israelites. In a broader spiritual context, the spear can be seen as a metaphor for the piercing of sin and the ultimate victory of good over evil. The spear that pierced Jesus' side is a poignant reminder of His suffering and the fulfillment of His mission to bring salvation to humanity. Throughout the Bible, the spear serves as a powerful symbol of both human conflict and divine purpose, illustrating the complex interplay between earthly struggles and heavenly plans.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Spear[<a href="../a/arms.htm">ARMS, ARMOR</a>]<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
