1 Kings 20:11
gear <02296> [Let not him, etc.]
This was no doubt a proverbial mode of expression. Jonathan renders it: "Let not him who girds himself, and goes down to battle, boast as one who has conquered and returned from it."
boast <01984> [harness.]
The word harness is an obsolete word for armour, derived from the French {harnois;} see Ex 13:18.
