1 Samuel 17:38 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:38

And Saul armed David with his armour
Not with what he wore himself; for it cannot be thought he would strip himself of his armour in the field of battle, and when just going to it; and besides what suited the one would not be fit for the other, their bulk and stature being different i but this was some armour Saul had brought with him, besides what he himself wore, to furnish any with that might want it:

and he put an helmet of brass upon his head;
such an one, though not so large as Goliath had, these being usually made of brass; (See Gill on 1 Samuel 17:5);

also he armed him with a coat of mail;
which probably was of brass also, and like that of Goliath's too, only lesser, ( 1 Samuel 17:5 ) .

1 Samuel 17:38 In-Context

36 Fuese le贸n, fuese oso, tu siervo lo mataba; pues este Filisteo incircunciso ser谩 como uno de ellos, porque ha provocado al ej茅rcito del Dios viviente.
37 Y a帽adi贸 David: Jehov谩 que me ha librado de las garras del le贸n y de las garras del oso, 茅l tambi茅n me librar谩 de la mano de este Filisteo. Y dijo Sa煤l 谩 David: Ve, y Jehov谩 sea contigo.
38 Y Sa煤l visti贸 谩 David de sus ropas, y puso sobre su cabeza un almete de acero, y arm贸le de coraza.
39 Y ci帽贸 David su espada sobre sus vestidos, y prob贸 谩 andar, porque nunca hab铆a probado. Y dijo David 谩 Sa煤l: Yo no puedo andar con esto, porque nunca lo practiqu茅. Y echando de s铆 David aquellas cosas,
40 Tom贸 su cayado en su mano, y escogi贸se cinco piedras lisas del arroyo, y p煤solas en el saco pastoril y en el zurr贸n que tra铆a, y con su honda en su mano vase hacia el Filisteo.
