The leather of shields required oiling (2 Samuel 1:21; Isaiah 21:5 ), so as to prevent its being injured by moisture. Copper (= "brass") shields were also in use (1 Samuel 17:6; 1 Kings 14:27 ). Those spoken of in 1 Kings 10:16 , etc.; 14:26, were probably of massive metal.
The shields David had taken from his enemies were suspended in the temple as mementoes (2 Kings 11:10 ). (See ARMOUR, SHIELD .)
