Target1 Samuel 17:6, a small round shield. The same word in 1 Samuel 17:45 is translated a shield, and elsewhere a javelin. See ARMOR.
Easton's Bible Dictionary
(
1 Samuel 17:6, A.V., after the LXX. and Vulg.), a kind of small shield. The margin has "gorget," a piece of armour for the throat. The Revised Version more correctly renders the Hebrew word (kidon) by "javelin." The same Hebrew word is used in
Joshua 8:18 (A.V., "spear;" R.V., "javelin");
Job 39:23 (A.V., "shield;" R.V., "javelin"); 41:29 (A.V., "spear;" R.V., "javelin").
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
