'Sword wielding' in the Bible
From the cities the descendants of Benjamin were counted on that day twenty-six thousand {sword-wielding men}, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were counted seven hundred well-trained men.
And the men of Israel besides Benjamin were counted four hundred thousand {sword-wielding men}; {all were warriors}.
And Benjamin went out from Gibeah to meet them on the second day, and they struck down the {Israelites} again, eighteen thousand men to the ground; all of these [were] {sword-wielding}.
And Yahweh defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and the {Israelites} destroyed on that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men of Benjamin, all of them {sword-wielding}.
So all of Benjamin who fell on that day were twenty-five thousand {sword-wielding men}; all of these [were] {able men}.
