'Rod' in the Bible
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; the rod of your kingdom is a rod of honour.
Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
