Easton's Bible Dictionary - Dart

Dart [N]

an instrument of war; a light spear. "Fiery darts" ( Ephesians 6:16 ) are so called in allusion to the habit of discharging darts from the bow while they are on fire or armed with some combustible material. Arrows are compared to lightning ( Deuteronomy 32:23 Deuteronomy 32:42 ; Psalms 7:13 ; 120:4 ).
