'With The Sword' in the Bible

And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
