'By the Sword' in the Bible

“But if you refuse and rebel,You will be devoured by the sword.”Truly, the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Your men will fall by the swordAnd your mighty ones in battle.

Anyone who is found will be thrust through,And anyone who is captured will fall by the sword.

Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land. And I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.”’”
