Spears were used many times in the Old Testament in war, but it is only mentioned once in the New Testament. In John 19:34, it talks about how a Roman soldier pierced the side of Jesus because he was already dead, so they didn't have to break his legs. He used a spear because it had a longer reach than a sword. And, as it says in verse 36: "These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken," and, as another scripture says, "They will look on the one they have pierced."
