It signifies a defensive tool that is smooth and polished, designed to deflect attacks and provide safety to the bearer. In the biblical context, it often symbolizes God's protection over His people or the preparedness of a warrior.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, shields were essential components of a warrior's arsenal. They were crafted from wood, leather, or metal and were often polished to deflect sunlight and intimidate opponents. Shields were not only practical in battle but also held symbolic significance, representing strength, protection, and divine favor. In Israelite society, the concept of God as a shield is a recurring theme, emphasizing His role as a protector and defender of His covenant people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
