This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
greaves of brass - boots, terminating at the ankle, made in one plate of metal, but round to the shape of the leg, and often lined with felt or sponge. They were useful in guarding the legs, not only against the spikes of the enemy, but in making way among thorns and briers.
a target of brass - a circular frame, carried at the back, suspended by a long belt which crossed the breast from the shoulders to the loins.
