* a certain man.
1Ki 22:34
* at a venture. Heb. in his simplicity.
2Sa 15:11
* between the, etc. Heb. between the joints and between the
breast plate.
The {shiryon,} in Syriac, {sheryono,} seems to have covered
both the back and breast of the warrior, and was consequently
not properly a breast-plate, but a coat of mail or corslet.
The corslet was made of flax or of wool woven very thick, of
ox-hide, of brass, or of iron. The metallic corslet consisted
not of solid piece, but of scales, hooks, or rings, connected
like the links of a chain, that the warrior might move with
greater ease. It was between the joints of this harness that
Ahab received his mortal wound.
1Ki 22:34,35
* wounded. Heb. made sick.
35:23
