Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Shields.--Maginnim. The m?g?n was a rouud or oval shield, about half the size of the "target" (cinnah), with which it is often contrasted; e.g., Psalm 35:2; LXX., ??????.Three hundred shekels of gold.--Kings, three manehs of gold. The maneh or mina (Assyrian, mana), was 1-60th part of a talent, and was equivalent to fifty or sixty shekels. Either the reading of our text is an error of transcription (sh'losh m?'oth for sh'losheth manim), or the word shekels is wrongly supplied in our version, and we ought rather to read drachms (100 drachms = 1 mina). The Syriac reads, "And three minas of gold wrought on the handle of one shield;" so also the Arabic.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew[He also made] threeוּשְׁלֹשׁ־ (ū·šə·lōš-)Conjunctive waw | Number - feminine singular constructStrong's 7969: Three, third, thricehundredמֵא֤וֹת (mê·’ō·wṯ)Number - feminine pluralStrong's 3967: A hundredsmall shieldsמָֽגִנִּים֙ (mā·ḡin·nîm)Noun - common pluralStrong's 4043: A shield, a protector, the scaly hide of the crocodileof hammeredשָׁח֔וּט (šā·ḥūṭ)Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine singularStrong's 7820: To hammer outgold;זָהָ֣ב (zā·hāḇ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 2091: Gold, something gold-colored, as oil, a clear skythreeשְׁלֹ֤שׁ (šə·lōš)Number - feminine singular constructStrong's 7969: Three, third, thricehundred [shekels]מֵאוֹת֙ (mê·’ō·wṯ)Number - feminine pluralStrong's 3967: A hundredof goldזָהָ֔ב (zā·hāḇ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 2091: Gold, something gold-colored, as oil, a clear skywentיַעֲלֶ֖ה (ya·‘ă·leh)Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 5927: To ascend, in, activelyintoעַל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againsteachהָאֶחָ֑ת (hā·’e·ḥāṯ)Article | Number - feminine singularStrong's 259: United, one, firstshield.הַמָּגֵ֣ן (ham·mā·ḡên)Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 4043: A shield, a protector, the scaly hide of the crocodileAnd the kingהַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (ham·me·leḵ)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4428: A kingput themוַיִּתְּנֵ֣ם (way·yit·tə·nêm)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | third person masculine pluralStrong's 5414: To give, put, setin the Houseבְּבֵ֖ית (bə·ḇêṯ)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1004: A houseof the Forestיַ֥עַר (ya·‘ar)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3293: A copse of bushes, a forest, honey in the combof Lebanon.הַלְּבָנֽוֹן׃ (hal·lə·ḇā·nō·wn)Article | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 3844: Lebanon -- a wooded mountain range on the northern border of IsraelJump to PreviousAlloyed Applied Beaten Bekas Body-Covers Causeth Cover Forest Gold Hammered House Hundred Lebanon Palace Putteth Shekels Shield Shields Small Smaller Three Using Woods
