Concise Bible Dictionary:
With the bow, a common weapon of the ancients. We know not of what wood the arrows of the Israelites were made. Apparently the arrows were sometimes poisoned (Job 6:4; Psa. 120:4; Num. 24:8; Deut. 32:23). Arrows are used metaphorically for the judgments of God (Psa. 38:2; Psa. 45:5); also for anything sharp and painful, as smiting by the tongue (Jer. 9:8).
