It is a tool of combat, often associated with soldiers and battles. In the context of the Bible, it symbolizes strength, aggression, and the readiness for battle.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the spear was a common weapon used by infantry and cavalry alike. It was a symbol of military power and prowess. The spear's design allowed for both throwing and thrusting, making it versatile in combat. In biblical times, warriors equipped with spears were often part of the front lines in battle formations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/1128.htm">Ben-deqer</a>.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">דֶּ֫קֶר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>piercing</em>, i.e. <em>sharp weapon ?</em> Talmud <em>pick, mattock</em>) <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/4-9.htm">1 Kings 4:9</a> <font class="hebrew2">בֶּןדֶּֿקֶר</font> compare sub. <font class="hebrew2">בן</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Dekar <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1856.htm">daqar</a>;
