'Swords' in the Bible

Now look! Our ancestors have been killed with swords and our sons, daughters, and wives are being held captive because of all of this.

So the LORD sent an angel, who eliminated all of the elite forces, commanders, and officers within the encampment of the king of Assyria. As a result, he retreated to his own country, deeply ashamed and humiliated. When he visited the temple of his god, some of his sons killed him right there with swords.
