The term "quivered" is not directly found in the Berean Standard Bible as a standalone word, but it is related to the imagery of a "quiver," which is a case for holding arrows. In biblical literature, the quiver is often used metaphorically to represent strength, preparedness, and the blessings of children. The concept of a quiver is deeply embedded in the cultural and spiritual symbolism of the Bible.

Biblical References:

1. Psalm 127:4-5 : "Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate." In this passage, the quiver symbolizes the blessing of having many children. Children are likened to arrows, suggesting that they are both a defense and a legacy for the future. The imagery of a full quiver implies strength and security, as a warrior with many arrows is well-prepared for battle.

2. Isaiah 49:2 : "He made my mouth like a sharp sword; He hid me in the shadow of His hand. He made me like a polished arrow; He hid me in His quiver." Here, the prophet Isaiah speaks of being prepared and protected by God, much like an arrow kept in a quiver. The quiver represents God's readiness to use His chosen servant for His purposes at the appointed time. This passage highlights the themes of divine preparation and protection.

3. Lamentations 3:12-13 : "He bent His bow and set me as the target for His arrow. He pierced my kidneys with His arrows from His quiver." In this context, the quiver is associated with judgment and suffering. The imagery of God using arrows from His quiver to afflict the speaker underscores the intensity of divine discipline and the personal nature of the suffering experienced.

Symbolism and Interpretation:

In biblical symbolism, the quiver is often associated with readiness and potential. Just as a quiver holds arrows that are ready to be used by a warrior, so too does it represent the potential and preparedness of individuals or groups in fulfilling God's purposes. The quiver's contents—arrows—are tools for both defense and offense, suggesting that those who are "in the quiver" are prepared for action, whether in spiritual warfare or in fulfilling God's commands.

The metaphor of the quiver also extends to the family unit, where children are seen as blessings and instruments of God's will. A full quiver signifies abundance and divine favor, reflecting the biblical view that children are a heritage from the Lord.

In prophetic literature, the quiver can symbolize God's sovereign control over history and His ability to execute judgment or deliverance. The imagery of being hidden in God's quiver, as seen in Isaiah, conveys a sense of being chosen and preserved for a specific purpose, awaiting the right moment for action.

Overall, the concept of the quiver in the Bible serves as a powerful metaphor for divine blessing, readiness, and the fulfillment of God's plans through His people.
