It is a type of spear, typically lighter and shorter than a standard spear, designed to be thrown over a distance. The javelin was a common weapon in ancient Near Eastern military arsenals and was used by both infantry and cavalry.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b>Saul and David:</b> One of the most notable mentions of the javelin in the Bible is in the narrative of King Saul and David. Saul, in his jealousy and anger towards David, attempted to kill him with a javelin. 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 began to prophesy inside the house while David was playing the harp as usual. Saul had a spear in his hand, and he hurled it, thinking, 'I will pin David to the wall.' But David eluded him twice."<br><br>2. <b>Saul's Attempt on Jonathan:</b> Saul also attempted to kill his own son Jonathan with a javelin. In <a href="/1_samuel/20-33.htm">1 Samuel 20:33</a> , it states: "Then Saul hurled his spear at Jonathan to kill him. So Jonathan knew that his father was determined to kill David."<br><br>3. <b>Goliath's Armament:</b> The Philistine giant Goliath, whom David famously defeated, was also equipped with a javelin. In <a href="/1_samuel/17-6.htm">1 Samuel 17:6</a> , it describes Goliath's armor: "He had bronze greaves on his legs and a bronze javelin slung between his shoulders."<br><br>4. <b>Military Use:</b> The javelin was a standard weapon in the Israelite army, as seen in various military contexts. In <a href="/2_samuel/18-14.htm">2 Samuel 18:14</a> , Joab, David's military commander, uses a javelin to kill Absalom: "Joab said, 'I will not wait like this for you.' So he took three javelins in his hand and plunged them into Absalom’s heart while he was still alive in the oak tree."<br><br><b>Symbolism and Significance:</b><br><br>The javelin, as a weapon, symbolizes aggression, warfare, and the personal vendettas that can arise from jealousy and anger. In the biblical narrative, it often represents the destructive potential of unchecked emotions and the physical manifestation of conflict. The repeated use of the javelin by Saul against David highlights the intense personal animosity and the spiritual and moral decline of Saul as he turns away from God's guidance.<br><br><b>Cultural Context:</b><br><br>In the ancient Near East, the javelin was a versatile weapon used by various cultures, including the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Philistines. It was effective in both close combat and as a projectile weapon, making it a valuable tool for soldiers. The biblical accounts reflect the historical reality of warfare during the time, where such weapons were commonplace.<br><br>The javelin's presence in the biblical text serves as a reminder of the ever-present threat of violence in a fallen world and the need for divine intervention and protection. The accounts involving the javelin often underscore the themes of trust in God, the futility of human anger, and the ultimate triumph of God's anointed, as seen in the life of David.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Javelin</span><p>[<a href="../a/arms.htm">ARMS, ARMOR</a>]<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div><p>(1.)
