2 Chronicles 18:33-34
shot <04900> [a certain man.]
random <08537> [at a venture. Heb. in his simplicity.]
plates <01694> [between the, etc. Heb. between the joints and between the breast plate.]
The {shiryon,} in Syriac, {sheryono,} seems to have covered both the back and breast of the warrior, and was consequently not properly a breast-plate, but a coat of mail or corslet. The corslet was made of flax or of wool woven very thick, of ox-hide, of brass, or of iron. The metallic corslet consisted not of solid piece, but of scales, hooks, or rings, connected like the links of a chain, that the warrior might move with greater ease. It was between the joints of this harness that Ahab received his mortal wound.
wounded <02470> [wounded. Heb. made sick.]
died <04191> [he died.]
