The buckler is typically smaller than a full-sized shield, designed for agility and quick defense, allowing the bearer to parry attacks effectively.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/psalms/18-2.htm">Psalm 18:2</a> :</b> "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Here, the term "shield" can be understood as a buckler, symbolizing God's protection and defense for the believer.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/psalms/91-4.htm">Psalm 91:4</a> :</b> "He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart." The imagery of a shield, akin to a buckler, emphasizes God's faithfulness as a protective barrier against harm.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/proverbs/2-7.htm">Proverbs 2:7</a> :</b> "He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk with integrity." The buckler here represents divine wisdom and protection granted to those who live righteously.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/ezekiel/23-24.htm">Ezekiel 23:24</a> :</b> "They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a throng of people; they will set themselves against you on every side with buckler, shield, and helmet." This passage illustrates the use of bucklers in military contexts, highlighting their role in ancient warfare.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Spiritual Significance:</b><br><br>In the spiritual sense, the buckler is often used metaphorically to describe God's protection over His people. It signifies the readiness and swiftness of divine intervention in the lives of believers. The buckler's smaller size compared to a full shield suggests a personal and intimate form of protection, emphasizing God's closeness and attentiveness to individual needs.<br><br>The buckler also represents the believer's faith and trust in God. Just as a soldier relies on a buckler for defense in battle, Christians are called to rely on their faith as a defense against spiritual adversities. <a href="/ephesians/6-16.htm">Ephesians 6:16</a> speaks of the "shield of faith," which can be likened to a buckler, as part of the full armor of God that believers are encouraged to don in spiritual warfare.<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b><br><br>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, bucklers were commonly used by infantrymen. They were typically made of wood or metal and sometimes covered with leather. The design allowed for ease of movement and quick response in close combat situations. The use of bucklers in biblical narratives underscores the reality of physical and spiritual battles faced by God's people throughout history.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>The concept of the buckler in the Bible serves as a powerful reminder of God's unwavering protection and the importance of faith in the life of a believer. Through the imagery of the buckler, Scripture conveys the message of divine security and the call to trust in God's providence amidst life's challenges.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/6793c.htm"><span class="l">6793c. tsinnah -- (large) shield</span></a><br><b>...</b> Word Origin from an unused word Definition (large) shield NASB Word Usage buckler<br> (3), <b>bucklers</b> (1), large shield (3), large shields (3), shield (7), shield <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/6793c.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 5k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/josephus/the_antiquities_of_the_jews/chapter_10_concerning_rehoboam_and.htm"><span class="l">Concerning Rehoboam, and How God Inflicted Punishment Upon Him for <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> He also took away the <b>bucklers</b> of gold, and the shields, which Solomon the king<br> had made; nay, he did not leave the golden quivers which David had taken from <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../josephus/the antiquities of the jews/chapter 10 concerning rehoboam and.htm</font><p><a href="/library/augustine/exposition_on_the_book_of_psalms/psalm_cxxix.htm"><span class="l">Psalm CXXIX.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> as it is written in Job (he was speaking of an ungodly sinner), "he runneth against<br> God, even upon his neck, upon the thick bosses of his <b>bucklers</b>;" [5561] so <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../augustine/exposition on the book of psalms/psalm cxxix.htm</font><p><a href="/library/kingsley/at_last/chapter_iii_trinidad.htm"><span class="l">Trinidad</span></a> <br><b>...</b> They carried square <b>bucklers</b>, the first Columbus had seen in the New World; and<br> bows and arrows, with which they made feeble efforts to drive off the Spaniards <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/kingsley/at last/chapter iii trinidad.htm</font><p><a href="/library/felix/the_octavius_of_minucius_felix/chapter_xxiv_argument_he_briefly_shows.htm"><span class="l">Argument: He Briefly Shows, Moreover, what Ridiculous, Obscene <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> Naked people run about in the raw winter; some walk bonneted, and carry around old<br> <b>bucklers</b>, or beat drums, or lead their gods a-begging through the streets. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../felix/the octavius of minucius felix/chapter xxiv argument he briefly shows.htm</font><p><a href="/library/guyon/song_of_songs_of_solomon/chapter_iv.htm"><span class="l">Chapter iv.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> besides that which is hidden within.4.
