Children as "Arrows"
Well doth David call children "arrows"; for if
they be well bred, they shoot at
their parents' enemies; and if they be evil bred, they shoot at
their parents (from Ps. 127:4).
—Henry Smith, 1560-1591
Like arrows in the hand of a
warrior are the children of one’s youth.
Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! - Ps. 127:4-5
