And he made the walled towns strong, and he put captains in them and stores of food, oil, and wine. And in every town he put stores of body-covers and spears, and made them very strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his.

Then he took heart, building up the wall where it was broken down, and making its towers higher, and building another wall outside; and he made strong the Millo in the town of David, and got together a great store of all sorts of instruments of war.

And from that time, half of my servants were doing their part of the work, and half kept the spears and body-covers and the bows and the metal war-dresses; and the chiefs were at the back of the men of Judah.

He takes the record of his great men: they go falling on their way; they go quickly to the wall, the cover is made ready.

Get out the breastplate and body-cover, and come together to the fight.

And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it. And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, with three pounds of gold in every cover: and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

And King Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it. And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, using three hundred shekels of gold for every cover, and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand men of Judah armed with body-covers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand of Benjamin armed with body-covers and bows; all these were men of war.

And David took their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.

And the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took to Jerusalem.

And took away all the stored wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the king's house, and all the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

So in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass, and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.

And those who are living in the towns of Israel will go out and make fires of the instruments of war, burning the body-covers and the breastplates, the bows and the arrows and the sticks and the spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them:

They make ready the table, they put down the covers, they take food and drink. Up! you captains; put oil on your breastplates.

These are the numbers of the chiefs of the armed men, ready for war, who came to David at Hebron, to give the kingdom of Saul into his hands, as the Lord had said. There were six thousand, eight hundred spearmen of the children of Judah, armed for war;

And in every town he put stores of body-covers and spears, and made them very strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his.

And Uzziah had all these forces armed with body-covers and spears and head-covers and coats of metal and bows and stones for sending from leather bands.

There were forty-four thousand, seven hundred and sixty of the sons of Reuben and of the Gadites and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, all strong men, expert in the use of the body-cover, the sword, and the bow, and in the art of war, all able to take up arms.

The stem of his spear was as long as a cloth-worker's rod, and its head was made of six hundred shekels' weight of iron: and one went before him with his body-cover.

For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it;

Make bright the arrows; take up the body-covers: the Lord has been moving the spirit of the king of the Medes; because his design against Babylon is its destruction: for it is the punishment from the Lord, the payment for his Temple.

And they will come against you from the north on horseback, with war-carriages and a great band of peoples; they will put themselves in order against you with breastplate and body-cover and metal head-dress round about you: and I will make them your judges, and they will give their decision against you as seems right to them.

After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Have no fear, Abram: I will keep you safe, and great will be your reward.

My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man.

God, who is the saviour of the upright in heart, is my breastplate.

The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour; my God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

He has salvation stored up for the upright, he is a breastplate to those in whom there is no evil;

Then the angel of God, who had been before the tents of Israel, took his place at their back; and the pillar of cloud, moving from before them, came to rest at their back: And it came between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel; and there was a dark cloud between them, and they went on through the night; but the one army came no nearer to the other all the night.

For you will not go out suddenly, and you will not go in flight: for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will come after you to keep you.

Then will light be shining on you like the morning, and your wounds will quickly be well: and your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will come after you.

Like birds with outstretched wings, so will the Lord of armies be a cover to Jerusalem; he will be a cover and salvation for it, going over it he will keep it from danger.

You will keep them, O Lord, you will keep them safe from this generation for ever.

The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.

O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight.

For I, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire round about her, and I will be the glory inside her.

In that day the Lord will be a cover over the people of Jerusalem; and he who is feeble among them in that day will be as strong as David, and the family of David will be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.

As for God, his way is completely good; the word of the Lord is tested; he is a breastplate for all those who put their faith in him.

You are my secret place and my breastplate against danger; my hope is in your word.

Every word of God is tested: he is a breastplate to those who put their faith in him.

The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.

Happy are you, O Israel: who is like you, a people whose saviour is the Lord, whose help is your cover, whose sword is your strength! All those who are against you will put themselves under your rule, and your feet will be planted on their high places.

Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.

O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate. O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate. You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

You have given me the breastplate of your salvation, and your mercy has made me great.

You have given me the breastplate of your salvation: your right hand has been my support, and your mercy has made me great.

For you, Lord, will send a blessing on the upright man; your grace will be round him, and you will be his strength.

O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king. For a day in your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin. The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.

You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.

Because his hand is stretched out against God, and his heart is lifted up against the Ruler of all, Running against him like a man of war, covered by his thick breastplate; even like a king ready for the fight,

And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.

Who, by the power of God are kept, through faith, for that salvation, which will be seen at the last day.

The rulers of the peoples have come together, with the people of the God of Abraham; because the powers of the earth are God's: he is lifted up on high.
