'Sword' in the Bible

The Lord says:I will not relent from punishing Edomfor three crimes, even four,because he pursued his brother with the sword.He stifled his compassion,his anger tore at them continually,and he harbored his rage incessantly.

I sent plagues like those of Egypt;I killed your young men with the sword,along with your captured horses.I caused the stench of your campto fill your nostrils,yet you did not return to Me.This is the Lord’s declaration.

Isaac’s high places will be deserted,and Israel’s sanctuaries will be in ruins;I will rise up against the house of Jeroboamwith a sword.”

for Amos has said this: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will certainly go into exile from its homeland.’”

Therefore, this is what the Lord says:Your wife will be a prostitute in the city,your sons and daughters will fall by the sword,and your land will be divided upwith a measuring line.You yourself will die on pagan soil,and Israel will certainly go into exilefrom its homeland.

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said:Strike the capitals of the pillarsso that the thresholds shake;knock them down on the heads of all the people.Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword.None of those who flee will get away;none of the fugitives will escape.

And if they are drivenby their enemies into captivity,from there I will commandthe sword to kill them.I will fix My eyes on themfor harm and not for good.

All the sinners among My peoplewho say: “Disaster will never overtakeor confront us,”will die by the sword.
