Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(use of the arcus, or bow). Use of the bow and arrow, an important art in Biblical times (Gen. 27:3³Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; (Genesis 27:3); Isa. 22:6; 49; 2⁶And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. (Isaiah 22:6) Psa. 127:4-5⁴As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. ⁵Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. (Psalm 127:4‑5)). Benjamites noted archers (Judg. 19-21).
