The arrows were carried in a quiver (Genesis 27:3; Isaiah 22:6; 49:2; Psalm 127:5 ). They were apparently sometimes shot with some burning material attached to them (Psalm 120:4 ).
The bow is a symbol of victory (Psalm 7:12 ). It denotes also falsehood, deceit (Psalm 64:3,4; Hosea 7:16; Jeremiah 9:3 ).
"The use of the bow" in 2 Samuel 1:18 (A.V.) ought to be "the song of the bow," as in the Revised Version.
