Bible Verse Review

armed David with his armour: Heb. clothed David with his clothes, 1 Samuel 17:5

Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 17:31 - sent for him

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Saul armed David with his armour,.... Not with what he wore himself; for it cannot be thought he would strip himself of his armour in the field of battle, and when just going to it; and besides what suited the one would not be fit for the other, their bulk and stature being different i but this was some armour Saul had brought with him, besides what he himself wore, to furnish any with that might want it:

and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; such an one, though not so large as Goliath had, these being usually made of brass;

:-;

also he armed him with a coat of mail; which probably was of brass also, and like that of Goliath's too, only lesser, 1 Samuel 17:5.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 38. Saul armed David — He knew that although the battle was the Lord's, yet prudent means should be used to secure success.
