What does the Bible say about dagger?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible portrays a dagger as a weapon whose use occurs within the tragic realities of violence, judgment, and deliverance in a fallen world, not as an object of moral admiration in itself. In Judges 3:16-22, Ehud secretly makes a double-edged dagger and uses it to kill Eglon, the Moabite king who oppressed Israel. The passage presents Ehud's act within God's providential rescue of his people, raising him up as a deliverer. Yet Scripture's wider witness directs believers away from personal vengeance and trust in weapons, calling them instead to seek justice under God's authority and to place their hope in the Lord.
