'Strike with the Sword' in the Bible

A third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and you shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it; and a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.

When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"
