shield in Judges 5
SHEELD
This thing shows up in Judges 5:8: “They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Judges 5:8
“They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?”
