[

Armour is employed in the English Bible to denote military equipment ,
both offensive and defensive .
(
1 .)
The offensive weapons were different at different periods of history .
The "
rod of iron " (
Ps .
2 :
9 )
is supposed to mean a mace or crowbar ,
an instrument of great power when used by a strong arm .
The "
maul " (
Prov .
25 :
18 ;
cognate Hebrew word rendered "
battle -
axe "
in Jer .
51 :
20 ,
and "
slaughter weapon "
in Ezek .
9 :
2 )
was a war -
hammer or martel .
The "
sword "
is the usual translation of _hereb_ ,
which properly means "
poniard ."
The real sword ,
as well as the dirk -
sword (
which was always double -
edged ),
was also used (
1 Sam .
17 :
39 ;
2 Sam .
20 :
8 ;
1 Kings 20 :
11 ).
The spear was another offensive weapon (
Josh .
8 :
18 ;
1 Sam .
17 :
7 ).
The javelin was used by light troops (
Num .
25 :
7 ,
8 ;
1 Sam .
13 :
22 ).
Saul threw a javelin at David (
1 Sam .
19 :
9 ,
10 ),
and so virtually absolved him from his allegiance .
The bow was ,
however ,
the chief weapon of offence .
The arrows were carried in a quiver ,
the bow being always unbent till the moment of action (
Gen .
27 :
3 ;
48 :
22 ;
Ps .
18 :
34 ).
The sling was a favourite weapon of the Benjamites (
1 Sam .
17 :
40 ;
1 Chr .
12 :
2 .
Comp .
1 Sam .
25 :
29 ).
(
2 .)
Of the defensive armour a chief place is assigned to the shield or buckler .
There were the great shield or target (
the _tzinnah_ ),
for the protection of the whole person (
Gen .
15 :
1 ;
Ps .
47 :
9 ;
1 Sam .
17 :
7 ;
Prov .
30 :
5 ),
and the buckler (
Heb .
_mageen_ )
or small shield (
1 Kings 10 :
17 ;
Ezek .
26 :
8 ).
In Ps .
91 :
4 "
buckler "
is properly a roundel appropriated to archers or slingers .
The helmet (
Ezek .
27 :
10 ;
1 Sam .
17 :
38 ),
a covering for the head ;
the coat of mail or corselet (
1 Sam .
17 :
5 ),
or habergeon (
Neh .
4 ;
16 ),
harness or breat -
plate (
Rev .
9 :
9 ),
for the covering of the back and breast and both upper arms (
Isa .
59 :
17 ;
Eph .
6 :
14 ).
The cuirass and corselet ,
composed of leather or quilted cloth ,
were also for the covering of the body .
Greaves ,
for the covering of the legs ,
were worn in the time of David (
1 Sam .
17 :
6 ).
Reference is made by Paul (
Eph .
6 :
14 -
17 )
to the panoply of a Roman soldier .
The shield here is the thureon ,
a door -
like oblong shield above all ,
i .
e .,
covering the whole person ,
not the small round shield .
There is no armour for the back ,
but only for the front .
