Commentary on the Bible (1832)

The arrows of his quiver - בני אשפתו beney ashpatho, “The sons of his quiver.” The issue or effect; the subject, adjunct, or accident, or produce of a thing, is frequently denominated its son or child. So arrows that issue from a quiver are here termed the sons of the quiver.
