'Rod' in the Bible

"Now marshal yourselves as troops. He has laid siege to us. They will strike the judge of Israel on the cheek with a rod."

The voice of the LORD cries out to the city wisdom fears your name: "Heed the rod, and the one who prepared it!

Use your rod to shepherd your people, the flock that belongs to you, that lives alone in the forest of Carmel. Let them find pasture in Bashan and Gilead, as they did long ago.
