2 Chronicles 26:14

And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host
For every soldier in the army:

shields and spears;
defensive and offensive weapons, the one to cover and protect their bodies, the other to push and pierce their enemies:

and helmets, and habergeons;
the first of these were a covering for the head in the day of battle, and the other coats of mail, to defend the body:

and bows;
to shoot arrows out of:

and slings to cast stones;
at which the Benjaminites formerly were very expert.

2 Chronicles 26:14 In-Context

12 The whole number of the heads of the {families} for mighty warriors of strength [was] two thousand six hundred.

13 And under their hand [were] army troops [numbering] three hundred and seven thousand five hundred who could make war with power and strength to help the king against an enemy.

14 And Uzziah prepared small shields, spears, helmets, breastplates, bows, and slingstones for the whole army.

15 And he made siege machines in Jerusalem designed [by] skillful men to be [set] upon the towers and upon the corners to shoot arrows and large slingstones. And his fame went out far, for he helped marvelously, for he was strong.

16 But on account of his strength his heart grew proud unto destruction. And he acted unfaithfully against Yahweh his God and went into the temple of Yahweh to offer an incense offering on the altar.
