Target

From: Concise Bible Dictionary: T

By: George A. Morrish

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.
