“Bow” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
The common weapon for discharging arrows. It is used symbolically for the hidden attacks of the wicked against the righteous (Psa. 11:2; Psa. 37:14-15). A “bow of steel” signifies great strength (Job 20:24). The wicked are like a “deceitful bow,” one that breaks when it is depended upon (Psa. 78:57; Hos. 7:16). In 2 Samuel 1:18 David’s elegy on Saul and Jonathan is called “The Bow.” The children were taught “[the song of] the Bow” (RV).
“Arrows” From 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).
