It is a tool of combat, often associated with soldiers and warriors in the biblical narrative. The spear was a common weapon in the ancient Near East, used for both throwing and thrusting in battle.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the spear was a primary weapon for infantry soldiers. It was typically made of a wooden shaft with a pointed metal tip. The spear's design allowed it to be used effectively in both close combat and as a projectile. The use of spears is well-documented in various ancient cultures, including the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Israelites. Spears were symbols of military power and authority, often carried by leaders and champions in battle.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
