"And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Saul armed David with his armour,.... Not with what he wore himself; for it cannot be thought he would strip himself of his armour in the field of battle,
and when just going to it; and besides what suited the one would not be fit for the other, their bulk and stature being different i but this was some armour Saul had brought with him, besides what he himself wore, to furnish any with that might want it: and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; such an one, though not so large as Goliath had, these being usually made of brass; See Gill on Sa1 17:5 , also he armed him with a coat of mail; which probably was of brass also, and like that of Goliath's too, only lesser, Sa1 17:5 .
