Topical Encyclopedia

In biblical times, the shield was an essential piece of military equipment, serving as a primary means of defense in battle. The shield is frequently mentioned in the Bible, both in literal and metaphorical contexts, symbolizing protection, faith, and God's providence.

Physical Description and Use:
The shield was typically made from wood, leather, or metal, and its size and shape varied. Some shields were large enough to cover the entire body, while others were smaller and more maneuverable. The shield was used to deflect arrows, spears, and other weapons, providing a crucial line of defense for soldiers in combat.

Biblical References:
The Bible contains numerous references to shields, often highlighting their importance in warfare. For instance, in1 Samuel 17:7, the shield-bearer of Goliath is mentioned, illustrating the role of shields in ancient military strategy. Similarly, in2 Samuel 22:31, David declares, "As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him."

Symbolic Meaning:
Beyond its physical use, the shield holds significant symbolic meaning in Scripture. It often represents God's protection and faithfulness. InGenesis 15:1, God tells Abram, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward." This assurance of divine protection is a recurring theme throughout the Bible.

The shield is also a metaphor for faith in the New Testament.Ephesians 6:16 instructs believers to "take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one." Here, faith acts as a spiritual defense against the attacks of Satan, emphasizing the believer's reliance on God's strength and promises.

Covenantal Protection:
The concept of God as a shield is closely tied to the covenantal relationship between God and His people. InDeuteronomy 33:29, Moses blesses Israel, saying, "Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword." This highlights the unique protection and favor that God extends to His covenant people.

Psalms and Worship:
The Psalms frequently depict God as a shield, reflecting the trust and reliance of the psalmists on divine protection.Psalm 3:3 states, "But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head." Such expressions of faith and dependence on God are central to the worship and spiritual life of the Israelites.

Conclusion:
The shield, both as a physical object and a powerful symbol, plays a significant role in the biblical narrative. It underscores themes of protection, faith, and the covenantal relationship between God and His people, serving as a reminder of the divine defense available to those who trust in the Lord.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Shield

The ordinary shield consisted of a framework of wood covered with leather; it thus admitted of being burnt. (Ezekiel 39:9) It was frequently cased with metal, either brass or copper; its appearance in this case resembled gold when the sun shone on it, 1 Macc. 6:39 and to this, rather than to the practice of smearing blood on the shield we may refer the redness noticed by. Nahum. (Nahum 2:3) The surface of the shield was kept bright by the application of oil as implied in (Isaiah 21:5) The shield was worn on the left arm, to which it was attached by a strap. Shields of state were covered with beaten gold. Shields were suspended about public buildings for ornamental purposes. (1 Kings 10:17) In the metaphorical language of the Bible the shield generally represents the protection of God: e.g. (Psalms 3:3;28:7) but in (Psalms 47:9) it is applied to earthly rulers and in (Ephesians 6:18) to faith. [ARMS, ARMOR]

ATS Bible Dictionary

Shield

A piece of defensive armor. God is often called the shield of his people,Genesis 15:1 Psalm 5:12 84:11, as are also princes and great men,2 Samuel 1:21 Psalm 47:9. SeeARMOR.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Used in defensive warfare, varying at different times and under different circumstances in size, form, and material (1 Samuel 17:7;2 Samuel 1:21;1 Kings 10:17;1 Chronicles 12:8, 24, 34;Isaiah 22:6;Ezek. 39:9;Nahum 2:3).

Used figuratively of God and of earthly princes as the defenders of their people (Genesis 15:1;Deuteronomy 33:29;Psalm 33:20;84:11). Faith is compared to a shield (Ephesians 6:16).

Shields were usually "anointed" (Isaiah 21:5), in order to preserve them, and at the same time make the missiles of the enemy glide off them more easily.
