 Archer
    a shooter with the bow (1 Chr. 10:3). This art was of high
    antiquity (Gen. 21:20; 27:3). Saul was wounded by the Philistine
    archers (1 Sam. 31:3). The phrase "breaking the bow" (Hos. 1:5;
    Jer. 49:35) is equivalent to taking away one's power, while
    "strengthening the bow" is a symbol of its increase (Gen.
    49:24). The Persian archers were famous among the ancients (Isa.
    13:18; Jer. 49:35; 50:9, 14, 29, 42. (See BOW).
