Genesis21:20
20 And God was with the lad, and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an Archer .
(i. e.) A skilful Hunter of Beasts and Warriour with men too, according to the prediction, Gen. 16. 12. For the bow was a principal instrument in War as well as in Hunting, Gen. 48. 22. & 49. 23, 24. And these two professions oft went together. See Gen. 10. 9.
