Buckler:
(1.) A portable shield (2Sa 22:31; 1Ch 5:18).
(2.) A shield surrounding the person; the targe or round form; used once figuratively (Psa 91:4).
(3.) A large shield protecting the whole body (Psa 35:2; Eze 23:24; 26:8).
(4.) A lance or spear; improperly rendered "buckler" in the Authorized Version (1Ch 12:8), but correctly in the Revised Version "spear."
The leather of shields required oiling (2Sa 1:21; Isa 21:5), so as to prevent its being injured by moisture. Copper (= "brass") shields were also in use (1Sa 17:6; 1Ki 14:27). Those spoken of in 1Ki 10:16, etc.; 14:26, were probably of massive metal.
The shields David had taken from his enemies were suspended in the temple as mementoes (2Ki 11:10). (See ARMOUR, SHIELD.)
Buckler: A Shield.
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my BUCKLER, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. (Psalm 18:2-3)
