Armour

When armour is mentioned in the Bible, this does not refer to a suit of armour that covers the entire body. Armour in the Bible is a cuirass or scale armour.

Israelite soldiers generally did not wear armour, only a shield to protect their body. In the Bible, armour is primarily worn by kings and army commanders.
