Strong's Lexicon kidon: Spear, javelin Original Word: כִּידוֹן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to strike Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a spear or javelin can be related to Greek terms such as "δόρυ" (dory) or "λόγχη" (lonche), which also refer to spears or lances. Usage: The term "kidon" refers to a type of weapon, specifically a spear or javelin, used in ancient warfare. It is a tool of combat, often associated with soldiers and warriors in the biblical narrative. The spear was a common weapon in the ancient Near East, used for both throwing and thrusting in battle. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the spear was a primary weapon for infantry soldiers. It was typically made of a wooden shaft with a pointed metal tip. The spear's design allowed it to be used effectively in both close combat and as a projectile. The use of spears is well-documented in various ancient cultures, including the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Israelites. Spears were symbols of military power and authority, often carried by leaders and champions in battle.
