Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 11 And the king of Israel answered and said,.... Very mildly and very wisely:

tell him, let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off; that is, he that prepares for the battle as he that has got the victory; the sense is, let no man triumph before the battle is over and the victory won; the events of war are uncertain; the battle is not always to the strong.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Ahab’s reply has the air of a proverb, with which Orientals always love to answer a foe.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 20:11. Let not him that girdeth on — This was no doubt a proverbial mode of expression. Jonathan translates, "Tell him, Let not him who girds himself and goes down to the battle, boast as he who has conquered and returned from it."
