Nets

Are often referred to in Scripture, Proverbs 1:17 Ecclesiastes 7:26 Isaiah 19:8,9 Habakkuk 1:15,16, particularly in connection with the first disciples of Christ, Matthew 4:18 13:47-50 Luke 5:1-10. Before the invention of fire-arms, nets were much used in hunting and fowling, and possible in catching men, as robbers, etc., Job 19:6 Psalm 140:5 Micah 7:2. Among the ancient Romans there was a gladiatorial game, in which one man was armed with sword and shield, and his antagonist with a net, by casting which he strove to entangle the other so that he might easily dispatch him with has dagger.
