[A two-edged sword is an ideal defensive-offensive weapon and was known as "a drinker of blood" (Souter).] Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1366: δίστομοςδίστομος, δίστομον (δίς and στόμα), having a double mouth, as a river, Polybius 34, 10, 5; (ὁδοί i. e. branching, Sophocles O. C. 900). As στόμα is used of the edge of a sword and of other weapons, so δίστομος has the meaning two-edged: used of a sword in Hebrews 4:12; Revelation 1:16; Revelation 2:12, and according to Schott in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance with two edges, two-edged.
