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.
