Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - The "ten years' quiet" (ver. 1) begins to see its end. Targets (2 Chronicles 9:15); spears (2 Chronicles 11:12); for both, see 1 Chronicles 12:24. Out of Benjamin... shields and... bows. The minuter coincidences of the history are very observable and very interesting; for see 1 Chronicles 8:40; 1 Chronicles 12:2; and much earlier, Genesis 49:27; Judges 20:16, 17.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Targets and spears.--Shield (or buckler) and lance. The large shield is meant (see 2Chronicles 9:15). The same phrase is used to describe the warriors of Judah. (1Chronicles 12:24.)That bare shields--i.e., the short or round shield (2Chronicles 9:16).Drew bows.--(1Chronicles 8:40; 1Chronicles 12:2.) The Judaeans were the hoplites, or heavy-armed; the Benjaminites the light-armed, or peltasts, as a Greek writer would have said. . . .
