'With The Sword' in the Bible

And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to LORD our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

and my wrath shall grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows, and your sons fatherless.
