'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 wilderness, and sacrifice unto Jehovah 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.
