Sheath

David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its sheath and killed him, and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.

And while they were at the great stone in Gibeon, Amasa joined them. Now Joab was dressed in military attire, with a dagger strapped to his belt. And as he stepped forward, he slipped the dagger from its sheath.

Then the LORD spoke to the angel, who put his sword back into its sheath.

‘Alas, O sword of the LORD, how long until you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still!’

…and tell her that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am against you, and I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.

Then all flesh will know that I, the LORD, have taken My sword from its sheath, not to return it again.’

Return the sword to its sheath! In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you.

“Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”
