'By the Sword' in the Bible

Instead, you'll pursue your enemies and they'll die by the sword before you.

Five of you will chase a hundred, a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

"As for the remnants among you, I'll bring despair in their hearts in the land of their enemies so that even the sound of a blown leaf will chase them and they flee as though pursued by the sword and fall when no one is pursuing.
