buckler, cold, hook, shield, target

“Buckler” From Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(cheek). The small round shield used to catch blows. [ARMOR.]

“Shield” From Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(cover). A defensive piece of armor, varying in size and shape, and made of skin or metal. Worn on left arm. Metaphorically, divine protection (Judg. 5:8⁸They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel? (Judges 5:8); 1 Kings 10:17¹⁷And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. (1 Kings 10:17); Psa. 3:3³But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. (Psalm 3:3)).

“Target” From Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(shield). A small shield is meant, and not a target or mark in a modern sense (1 Sam. 17:6⁶And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. (1 Samuel 17:6)). In the margin it is called “gorget,” which was a defensive piece of armor, in the days of chivalry, used to protect the joint or opening between the helmet and cuirass.

“Target” From Concise Bible Dictionary:

A shield (1 Kings 10:16¹⁶And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target. (1 Kings 10:16); 2 Chron. 9:15¹⁵And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target. (2 Chronicles 9:15); 2 Chron. 14:8⁸And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valor. (2 Chronicles 14:8)). In 1 Samuel 17:6⁶And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. (1 Samuel 17:6) a small spear is probably intended: the RV. has “javelin.” See ARMOR.
