Smith's Bible Dictionary Bow(Genesis 37:10) The eastern mode of salutation, by kneeling upon one knee and bending the head forward till it touched the ground. ATS Bible Dictionary BowA weapon much used in ancient times, both for hunting and for war. It was made of wood, horn, or steel, Genesis 27:3 Psalm 18:34; and the foot was sometimes used in bending it. It was carried in a case, when not used, Habakkuk 3:19. The Benjamites were celebrated for their skill in the use of this weapon, 1 Chronicles 12:2 2 Chronicles 14:8 17:17. See ARMS. The phrase, "a deceitful bow," to which the people of Israel are compared, Psalm 78:57 Hosea 7:16, means an ill-made or twisted bow, which does not shoot the arrow as it is aimed. In 2 Samuel 1:18, we read. "Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow." Here the words, "the use of," are not in the Hebrew. The use of the bow in war had long been common among the Jews, Genesis 48:22; and to "teach them the bow," is by some supposed to mean, teach them by some supposed to mean, teach them the song of THE BOW, the lamentation over Saul and Jonathan, which follows; so called from the mention of the weapon in Genesis 48:22, as the first four books in the Bible take their title in Hebrew from the first word in each. See ARROW. Easton's Bible Dictionary The bow was in use in early times both in war and in the chase (Genesis 21:20; 27:3; 48:22). The tribe of Benjamin were famous for the use of the bow (1 Chronicles 8:40; 12:2; 2 Chronicles 14:8; 17:17); so also were the Elamites (Isaiah 22:6) and the Lydians (Jeremiah 46:9). The Hebrew word commonly used for bow means properly to tread (1 Chronicles 5:18; 8:40), and hence it is concluded that the foot was employed in bending the bow. Bows of steel (correctly "copper") are mentioned (2 Samuel 22:35; Psalm 18:34).The arrows were carried in a quiver (Genesis 27:3; Isaiah 22:6; 49:2; Psalm 127:5). They were apparently sometimes shot with some burning material attached to them (Psalm 120:4). The bow is a symbol of victory (Psalm 7:12). It denotes also falsehood, deceit (Psalm 64:3, 4; Hosea 7:16; Jeremiah 9:3). "The use of the bow" in 2 Samuel 1:18 (A.V.) ought to be "the song of the bow," as in the Revised Version.
