Gill's Notes on the Bible

And King Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold,.... Which were a larger sort of shields, which covered the whole body; and these were made of gold beaten with the hammer, or drawn into plates, being melted like wax; so the Poeni or Carthaginians made shields of gold m:

six hundred shekels of gold went to one target; which is to be understood not of the weight, but of the price or value of them, which amounted to four hundred and fifty pounds of our money; so Brerewood n.

m Plin. Nat. Hist. l. 35. 3. n Ut supra. (De Ponder. & Pret. c. 5.)

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The “targets” seem to have been long shields protecting the whole body, while the “shields” of the next verse were bucklers of a smaller size, probably round, and much lighter. They may be compared with the Assyrian long shield, and the ordinary Assyrian round shield. As the amount of gold used in each of the larger shields was only 600 shekels - worth from 650 to 700 of our money - and that used in the smaller ones was only half as much it is evident that the metal did not form the substance of the shields, but was laid as a coating or plating over them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 10:16. Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold — I have already conjectured that the צנה tsinnah might resemble the Highland targe or target, with a dagger projecting from the UMBO or centre.
