Nehor's Sword

Nehor’s sword is the weapon Nehor drew against Gideon when Gideon withstood him with the words of God. Nehor “began to smite him” after becoming angry with Gideon (Alma 1:9).

Gideon, “stricken with many years,” could not withstand Nehor’s blows and was slain by the sword (Alma 1:9).
