Concise Bible Dictionary:

A light spear that could be thrown at an enemy (Jer. 50:42⁴²They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. (Jeremiah 50:42)).
