DARTdart (chets; belos): A pointed missile weapon, as an arrow or light spear (2 Samuel 18:14 Job 41:26). See ARMOR; ARMS, III, 4; ARROW. Figurative:
(1) Of the penalty of sin (Proverbs 7:23 the King James Version);
(2) of strong suggestions and fierce temptations to evil (Ephesians 6:16; compare 1 Maccabees 5:51).
Easton's Bible Dictionary
An instrument of war; a light spear. "Fiery darts" (
Ephesians 6:16) are so called in allusion to the habit of discharging darts from the bow while they are on fire or armed with some combustible material. Arrows are compared to lightning (
Deuteronomy 32:23, 42;
Psalm 7:13;
120:4).
