The controversial movement known as Quiverfull takes its inspiration from a somewhat obscure verse from Psalms in the King James Bible.
Quiver is a noun meaning a sheath for arrows. It is a metaphor used in Psalm 127 for children.
The Quiverfull Movement teaches that Christians should eschew all birth control, having as many kids as God wishes them to have by normal, active sexual activity and procreation. Their inspiration for this are the verses: “As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them.” (Psalm 127:4–5)
