7. shields of gold] “shields” = Heb. shĕlâtim. The meaning of the Heb. word is doubtful; most probably it does not mean “shield,” for (1) a shield would not be described as “upon” the person to whom it belonged, (2) the early authorities, i.e. the LXX. translators, the Targum, and the Peshitta (on 2Sa_8:7; 2Ki_11:10; Jer_51:11; Eze_27:11) never give “shield,” but either leave the word untranslated or give various conjectural renderings. A later authority (Targ. on 1Ch_18:7; 2Ch_23:9) gives “shield,” while LXX. gives “collars (κλοιούς),” and “arms,” or “shields” (τὰ ὅπλα) in 2 Chr.
The most probable rendering of the word is “suit of armour”; cp. R.V. mg. on Jer_51:11.

The shields; Hebrew fl,v,. Much doubt has been entertained as to the meaning of this word. Its etymology is uncertain. Gesenius derives it from a root signifying "hardness." For the most part, however, the context of the seven places of its occurrence which he instances (2Sa_8:7; 2Ki_11:10; 1Ch_18:7 2Ch_23:9; Son_4:4; Jer_51:11; Eze_27:11) favour the rendering "shields," though the quotation from Jer_51:11 (literally, "fill ye the shields") is not so satisfactory. The wealth of Zobah is, of course, illustrated by these shields of gold.
