Dart
Easton, 1897
An instrument of war; a light spear. "Fiery darts" (Ephesians 6:16) are so called in allusion to the habit of discharging darts from the bow while they are on fire or armed with some combustible material. Arrows are compared to lightning (Deuteronomy 32:23, Deuteronomy 32:42; Psalms 7:13; Psalms 120:4).
