in poetic form. A comparison is made between warriors and fathers and arrows and children. As the martial image is extended in verse 5 the theology of dominion is clarified in the portrayal of the warrior who packs his quiver full of covenant arrows prepared for launching into the city gates with an aim to conquer Christ's enemies and build the kingdom of God. This message explores the duty of godly fathers to train up a covenant family in faithfulness in order to extend his spiritual impact through the multiplication of responsible covenant servants who will themselves multiply, fill the earth, and take dominion over the earth for Christ.
