shield in 2 Samuel 1
SHEELD
This thing shows up in 2 Samuel 1:21: “You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was defiled…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
2 Samuel 1:21
“You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.”
